New scooter book.... Taking in the the View

Postby Solid Air » Thu Nov 16, 2023 10:53 am

Arriving and available to buy very soon.

A Round the Bend publication....

Taking in the View - Life from a Scooter


Image

Recently I finished writing my first book, and in a couple of weeks the printer will be delivering the finished article to me. It has been a very steep learning curve producing this, but I have had some really talented and enthusiastic people helping me over the past year and a bit.

Image

Taking in the View tells of how I first became aware of scooters, both Vespas and Lambrettas, and how I found myself entering the wonderful world of two-stroke fumes, scooter rallies and a continually hard hit bank account, along with many many memories of where my scooter would take me over the coming years.

Included in its 248 pages you will find over 100 photographs, maps, illustrations and many cherished memories.

It will be available to buy for £13.99 + P&P at http://www.lifefromascooter.com and further information can be found on Facebook by visiting "Taking in the View - Life from a Scooter" and Instagram at "Life from a Scooter".

The book has just dropped, cheers Mark! :D A brilliant rollercoaster ride of a read & worthy bookshelf companion to; Mark Brough's 'Time Trouble and Money, Bill Mac's 'Birth of a Cult & Sticky's 'Scooterboys'. Buy it NOW, you'll regret it when it sells out & you don't have a copy...
