I purchased this book in Paris when it was released two years ago. It is still available as I saw it at two book shops earlier this month in Paris. The cover price is equivalent to $9.
IMHO, the book is okay, but not great. It seems typical of most cycling collectibles books in that it tries to cover everything and in the process is very superficial. With only a couple of exceptions, most of the objects in the book are very common and/or are mediocre examples.
Even though the book is merely middle of the road, if you are a collector junkie, you still might want to consider buying a copy of the book to see how another collector presents his collection.
