The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Motorcycles, edited by Erwin Tragatsch, was published by The Hamlyn Publishing Group Limited, Astronaut House, Hounslow Road, Feltham, Middlesex, England. It was first published in 1977, and mine was reprinted in 1978. Cost then was Pounds 5.95 in the UK, though I paid 18.50 for it in Canadian dollars. I have no idea whether it's still in print. Perhaps you could let the net know. Bob. Robert Smits Ladysmith BC | If Lucas built weapons, wars emd@ham.almanac.bc.ca | would never start, either.
