I'm not one to get too excited about autographs, but having [url=http://www.themalcolmbook.com/]this book signed by the man himself strikes me as pretty cool. So a while back I did something a bit out of character and signed up for the pre-order (along with a rather hefty handling/shipping fee) just to get a signed copy. Lately, it seems that almost anything in the retro motorcycling vein turns me back into a kid again along with fair dose of enthusiasm for moto-related goodies.
This book has been quite a while in the making — it was originally planned to go to print at the end of 2013. As a pre-order(er) I received notice today that it has now finally made it to the printer and is expected to ship sometime in September. I'm definitely looking forward to this book. If it comes anywhere close to "Mann of His Time" (the Dick Mann biography and my favorite motorcycle-related book) I'll be thrilled. The email contained a brief excerpt of the book showing some of the layout details. Malcolm's book is going to feature a ton of photos and based on the preview it would appear a lot of interesting visual details in general. All in all it looks like the books designer put in a lot of hours on this project. I'm getting pretty fired up as this should make for some great fall reading.
Now I'm off to search for that photo around here somewhere of Chip's awesome Husqvarna, lol.
