No previous owner marks, no notes-all pages are clean and crisp with a touch of foxing to the textblock edges. 239 pages including index, chronology of important dates in motor cycling (1885-1949) and over 100 vintage B&W photographs.The development of motor cycles, their use and technological advances, from the first primitive machines of 1896 to the latest models of 1950 are covered in this history, which in turn examines their employment for sports, recreation and transport in both world wars.The author Ixion, was a staff member of "The Motor Cycle," Britain's oldest magazine devoted to motorcycles and dates back to 1903. At the time of writing (1951) he was the only professional writer still left from the magazine's earliest days. You'd be hard pressed to find a better record of the early days of British contemporary two-wheel motor cycling. Any motor cycle enthusiast will enjoy this history..Scarce, especially in DJ and a very handsome copy. LOC SSS-04
