The $6.95 volume, one of Rand McNally's "Color Illustrated Guides" series , contains 194 full -color illustrations and numerous black and white illustrations. the majority of both being drawings of motorcycles. The 5" x 7 \.2" book separates the many examples of racing machinery by countries, - not marques. While every road racing bike is not pictured, all the important machines are. Technical data accompanies each illustration and while not alway spoton (figures are often rounded out to the nearest whatever) and top speed figures stretch the imagination in many cases , the data is instructive. . As a bonus. dozens of marque insignias are reproduced (via color illustrations). Also included is a chapter on . the evolution of racing machinery. followed by lists of World Champions. . An indispensable volume for tarmac freaks, the book can be enjoyed by anyone interested in motorcycling.
