Has anyone seen the new 2nd edition of "Recumbent Bicycle"? Like it?
There's only one book all about recumbents: "The Recumbent Bicycle" by
Gunnar Fehlau. Has anyone here seen the new 2nd edition that I released a few months ago? I'd think there'd be some buzz about it, being a fully revised and updated edition of, well, the only general coverage recumbent book. Anyone interested in the only recumbent book? Some angles that immediately pop to mind about such a newsworthy event: Does it seem reasonably up to date? Is text flow better than before? ---It's an English translation from a German original. The new edition shouldn't have hardly any German-glish left in it. Oh I know a good question anyone interested in books might have: Is it lacking something significant that a general book should have? I already have my own list of major things to improve with the next printing. Can anyone guess what they are? There's 2 or 3 right off the bat. *** I'm finally getting inventory out to the recumbent specialty shops nationwide (and in Canada and UK) these past couple weeks. It's springtime and time for bikes! Anyone know of a good bike shop that offers bents that I should be sure to call? I also plan to let the library market know all about it. Anyone who cares about kids probably has a sense of how kids might react to discovering the world of recumbents. Bike innovations are probably a pretty popular library book topic in general. I'm also producing a recumbent poster. As I've been speaking with bike shops I get the impression that there aren't other recumbent posters out there this year and that there haven't been many before in general. One in the last couple years maybe, and maybe 2 others before that. (Burley, Rans, Vision?) I'm thinking that a poster that does what it can to promote recumbenteering in general is a good way to go. Maybe this would help shops and also be good to put up in workshops or in windtrainer rooms. *** Well, thanks for your thoughts about this major recumbent culture event! -- Jeff Potter **** *Out Your Backdoor * * http://www.outyourbackdoor.com publishing do-it-yourself culture ... bikes, skis, boats & more ... plus radically relevant novels at the ULA's LiteraryRevolution.com ... free music ... tons o' articles ... travel forums ...

Jeff,
I went to your website to take a look at the books. I clicked on the image for the book and it opened a new window which had detailed info on the book...AND...it opened a Paypal "cart" window as if I had clicked on an "buy" button. Not cool...totally unexpected. You should change that. A suggestions would be to put an "add to cart" button below the image. rr Jeff Potter wrote: There's only one book all about recumbents: "The Recumbent Bicycle" by Gunnar Fehlau.

Thanks for the advice. I just changed this. I suppose that clicking on a
cover should always just show a bigger cover or something. Too much service can be a bad thing, I guess! --JP Randy Rhine wrote: Jeff, I went to your website to take a look at the books.

Randy. Bought a copy (not from the web site though). I haven't read it
from cover to cover but have enjoyed what I read so far. Lots of interesting facts, information and ideas. At this point I don't know what I would recommend. I think the book covers just about every topic. Randy Rhine wrote in message ... And the same thing happens when the large picture on the detail page is clicked.

I wasn't complaining about the book. It looks interesting. I'll probably
buy a copy. Only commenting about a web design issue that led to invoking a shopping cart screen when it wasn't expected. But...appreciate the positve comments about the book. rr Dom wrote: Randy.

think that any discussion of 'bent media is totally on topic. Oh, and as I posted before, I fixed the website as RR suggested. Dom wrote: Randy. My apologies.

Jup, I have an example of it - I haven't read the whole book, and I haven't seen the first edition, so I can't compare. Apart from that I think it's a must for all recumbent people, from homebuilders to entry level byers. The language is OK for Me, but what do I know, I'm Danish (no - not that - the nationality!) regards, Torben |
