Haynes' "The Bike Book" available cheapo-cheapo in Oxford

[J-P.S]

I've just bought a copy of the Haynes manual for bikes - "The Bike Book" - for £1.50 in the little
Blackwell's on Broad Street in Oxford. It's closing down soon and everything in there is half the
sale price.

I don't know how much people rate it here, but it seems a good introduction to a fair bit of cycle
repair and care. And it has few beginner's-level gaps in it, which will help enormously.

The English will all be toffs, and will cheat furiously. The half-time pep talk will be a rousing
speech about patriotism and how now's the time to fly the bomb into the alien mothership. And the
statesiders will get their clammy hands on one of our fine English roses. Who'll probably be played
by Gwyneth.

Get me a copy and I'll post you all the necessary funds.

Many Thanks

Sorry: in work all day tomorrow (thesis due, and undergraduates need their tutorin') and away for
the weekend. I don't know how long the sale's lasting, but if I get a chance I'll look in on Monday
and buy their remaining copies.
