I really liked this one. I think I’ll buy it. The first half is bicycle maintenance and it seems like a good reference with nice illustrations. I’d love to take a bicycle apart and put it back together for a tune up as described in the book.

The second half is photocopies of the Chainbreaker zine, which is just lovely to read and a treat to look at. It’s the sort of book that, if left around the house, I would have picked up as a teen to read while eating breakfast or whatever. And I’d like to have it around for my own kids to pick up and read. It is worth at least opening up and looking at it if you come across it. You’ll want to look at more.

Good bike repair manual coupled with reprints of a 'zine from pre-hurricane New Orleans. Lots of encouragement for anyone new to fixing or riding and especially anyone not in the typical bike riding demographic.
