Another Book Thread...

[motogman]

I see there is a thread about a book talking about travel in the west and it reminded me that I wante to post about a book I read recently.

I was walking out of the local used book store, passing though the life style section, when I glanced down and saw a book with an old  Moto Guzzi on the cover.  I grabed it without thinking too much and figured I would get to it soon or later.  I was able to read it on some travels, a pretty quick but good read.

Has anybody else come across this book...  Ther Perfect Vehicle:  What is it About Motorcycles.

https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Vehicle-What-About-Motorcycles/dp/0393318095

The author, Melissa Holbrook Pierson, got into riding and chose Moto Guzzi.  She talks about the culture of riding, Moto Guzzi riders, various experiences etc.  All in all a good, easy and fun read.  I highly recommend it and have bought two other copies to give to friends - neither of which are into Moto Guzzi but are new riders.

Anybody else read this?  What did you think?

Just for some background as responses are posted, you can type "Pierson" into the WG Search box and find quite a few threads from the past on her and her books (several now).
