AMERICAN RACER, 1900-1940

American Racer, 1900-1940 and American Racer, 1940-1980 have been out of print for over two decades. During this time, their scarcity and desirability among book collectors and motorcycling enthusiasts has greatly increased their value. They are typically offered from $300 to in-excess of $1,000 in online auctions and private sales. We are pleased to announce that a limited number of these highly acclaimed and sought-after racing history books are now available for purchase directly through the publisher….at a realistic price. With improvements in technology, the quality of these reprints has surpassed the originals.
