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.
