The Ariel Book

Post by cmfalco »

I had the pleasure of meeting, and spending time with, Markus Nikot at the Irish Rally last week. He is credited for "Concept + Photography" in 'The Ariel Book: The Complete Guide, 1994 to 1970', Roger Gwynn (Draganfly Motor Cycles, Bungay, UK, 2026), ISBN 978-3-00-086179-6. I gave the complete citation because it's a wonderful book with excellent photography, printed on high-quality paper.

I bought my copy from Markus in Ireland last week, but left it in its protective plastic cover until I got back to the U.S. two nights ago. I've collected motorcycle books for many decades, so when I say it is an excellent book, that is based on comparing it with the several thousand in my collection. I can't imagine anyone who buys it being disappointed, but since only 1200 copies were printed, I can imagine if you don't buy it, you will be.

Many thanks for your praise, I am very happy to have finally finished it and to receive such praise makes it all worthwhile.
