What are you're favorite Mountain Bike books?
What books do you recommend?
So far I have:
1. Mastering Mountain Bike Skills by Brian Lopes and Lee McCormack (awesome book).
2. Park Tool BBB-2 The Big Blue Book of Repair by C. Calvin Jones (Love it).
3. Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance by Lennard Zinn(Love it).
4. Mountain Biking Skills by Editors or Bicycling Magazine (didn't really like it).
Thanks

Gary Fisher and I started a business in 1979 that we called "MountainBikes." My book is just out. Official release date is today.
My publisher has put a sample chapter online, so check it out.
The current issue of Dirt Rag has a sample chapter also.
And here is a really good review of it.

There are books about mountain biking?
Are they required reading?
Will there be a test?

Mountain Biking Skills, Essential advice for every level of rider, That will get U to the UK publisher and,
The ISBN-13: 9783293065147 will find it if you go that route.
I got it off the rag rack. I guess its not considered a book.
Covers more than 400 Techniques but be warned It's for Little rubber people, us more 'mature' riders don't need to get our necks broken
so read the 'Flight club' stuff for fun.
It covers eats also, lots of pictures, I have packed it and used it on the trail. Its pretty good.
Pumping the trail Is very helpful to me...
