Recommend a Great Book or Two on The Classics
I am wanting to give as gifts two books on the great european classic races. One or both could be a picture book with ample writings.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Can You read in Other Languages ? My friend in Ypres Belgium had a collection of coffee table sized bike racing history books Published in Flemish-Dutch.

The Spring Classics. - I have this book and think it is pretty awesome. Coffee table sized with good photos and good description of the history and challenge of the races.

Who is Austin Dunbar?
How about these?
Paris-Roubaix: The Inside Story by Les Woodland
I have Kindle versions of each but I'm sure they sell hard copy as well.

I can't recommend Dog in a Hat enough if you like cycling books. Not a coffee table book but a very good read.

I'd recommend Andrew Dickson's "The Rough Guide to Shakespeare".
Oh, not those classics?
