Schwinn (Bicycle Books)

Rating:
Summary: Poorly researched
Review: Sorry to see a good idea executed so poorly. The author relied on limited and questionable sources, leading to many mistakes in the history of the company. There are also several misspelled names, typos and incorrectly identified photos, although the photos are quite good as are some of the old ads. That's really the only reason to consider the book, for the photos and old advertising. Just don't waste time reading it as there are other, far better accounts of the company's history.

Summary: Get Liz Frieds book instead
Review: This book has lots of photos but the one of the orange krate is totally incorrect. The auther should have done his homework and learned about Schwinn Bikes before doing a book on the subject. Instead he used nice photos of incorrectly restored bikes.
