CRs,
Being the one in my house with no money (the wife and kids are doing OK, thanks), I was not in a position to buy Jan Heine and Jean-Pierre Praderes book, "The Golden Age of Handbuilt Bicycles" so I petitioned our local library to purchase it and they came through! I picked it up last night and was only honked at at three intersections as I tried to flip through it on the way home.
I wonder how many have been sold to other libraries. Jan, do you have those statistics? I'm going to "pass this book around" to friends who might not otherwise be aware of these types of bicycles and would certainly not be a potential buyer of the book in normal circumstances (I don't want to undercut outright sales).
I will probably use my full three week check out time though ... :_)
Thanks Jan and Jean-Pierre and thanks Springfield/Greene County Library!
