I have that book here The cover's a line drawing,( not close to Rebour realism) loaded tourist, long hair blowin' in the wind. Small panniers, bedroll atop. Front HB bag. Dreailleur looks like a Valentino Water bottle cage has oversoze clips like a one-clip reg, but there are two. Bottle looks like a Sigg metal fuel bottle. It's Two Wheel Travel Bicycle Camping and Youring- aDELL special Most drawings are in the spirit of a cleaner and more accurate 'Anybody's bike Book', and there are a few that are rebour-like
