Check out the sellers other auctions. I have a couple of those TdF books and they have some great pics in them.
Funny, a few years ago I took one of them and a bunch of old Winning magazines to the Pro Night put on by Wheat Ridge Cyclery which is owned by the Kiefel's...
I was autograph hunting of course... They had this huge line and a table about 50 yards long with just a bunch of professional and ex professional cyclsts signing.
So, I got in line:) At the end was Bob Roll, Greg Lemond, Andy Hampsten, Shapiro, Keifel, and a few others I forgot.
When I got to them and asked Lemond sign the TdF book Roll snatches it out of his hands and Roll, Lemond and Hampsten start browsing through it checking out all of the old pics some they had never seen.
They did this for quite awhile holding up the line and I actually had to ask them for it back before the rest of the mob killed me:)
