This is the book I mentioned a week or so ago, although I have the Dutch version entitled: "Merckx: Mens & Mythe". This book is indeed an excellent photo essay of his cycling career, with numerous black & white pics.

Also worth a mention is that Eddy Merckx Bicycles has a limited edition 2005 calendar available this year. This calendar is very large and features numerous black & white photos from Eddy's career. Although my copy was provided thru the Netherlands, I believe Gita (the Merckx importer in the U.S.) has 400-500 copies available total, with orders being taken on the Gita website.

Just received my copy of Merckx: Intime, by Phillippe Brunel ... And I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Mostly photos of his career with a few stories. Text is in French, but it is well worth it, even if you don't read the language:

Available from Amazon.fr for under 47.50 Euros, plus shipping:
