the magazine that put that special issue/book out is "bicycle club", i beleive...
theyve also got several other books, some of which ive seen before, some of which i havent, listed on their website:
"beginners cycling manual"
http://www.venus.dti.ne.jp/
the italian roadracer museum issue is pretty cool, though. plenty of pretty pictures for those of us who cant make heads or tails of kanji :)
if im remembering correctly, its a mostly modern bike magazine in its monthly form...
