Over the weekend i bought this exellent book on mountain biking by Nicky Crowther (Bulfinch) "Classic Mountain Bike Rides".It's not a technical book but it's very exiting to read about people that ride their MTB around the world !,check it out,i only wish they had some rides in the Eastern Europe (prefferably Romania with it's Carpathian Mountains ....or the lowlands by the Danube river ...i'm dreaming.....
