As a huge fan of motorcycles, this book interested me right away. The beautifully curated photographs, and how the story along them, went well together. The writing was easy to follow without being overwhelmed, after all, that was a few years of history.
This would be a perfect gift for a bike or Triumph Fan.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this wonderful book!
