Would that be somehow better than having people read that information online? Seems the main difference would be the expense. And the relative difficulty in following embedded links. It is true that people tend to put less value on free items, no matter their quality; and people tend to elevate the value of items they pay for. So let me help you out! Send me twenty U.S. dollars, and I'll give you permission to read all of the Sheldon Brown articles online. -- - Frank Krygowski |

I suspect that it would be a pretty large book as Sheldon had an amazing output. For example he wrote the "Mechanical Advantage" column for Adventure Cyclist, the magazine of the Adventure Cycling Association, from 1997 through 2007 and in addition was a contributing writer for Bike World magazine and for Bicycling magazine and then for the trade magazine American Bicyclist -- Cheers, John B. |
