Hi, Walter Lemke, who has kindly supported me a great deal in my research over the past years, has asked me the favour to remind members that his book on Fausto Coppi is still available. It is, of course, written in German, all 688 pages of it, has many pictures in an appendix and a huge index. Also his history of cycle sport up until 1939, written jointly with Wolfgang Gronen and a long-standing classic itself, is on sale again.
Fausto Coppi is a rather readable book of historical fact, written in a novelistic style. Geschichte des Radsports und des Fahrrads, the history on general cycle sports, is now more than 15 years old and an absolute mine of knowledge; however, it does not give sources.
The Coppi book has an ISBN (3-00-004678-9), the history doesn´t. Both are available direct from the publishers´: Fuchs-Druck und Verlag, Riezlerstr. 12, 83714 Miesbach/Obb., Germany.
The history is 17.38 and the Coppi book is 25.30 plus p&p. Should anyone want the books in spite of not being able to transact in German, I´m glad to help. The US-Dollar is about at par with the Euro at the moment.
AND: FRIGHTFULLY SORRY, but I lost the address of the member who wanted to swap videos with me. Could you please mail me again?
Thanks for bearing with me,
Toni Theilmeier, Osnabrueck, Germany.
