Any interest in the original BOBKE book?
#333 - 12/28/03 06:38 PM (12.230.17.132)

I've got an original copy of Bob Roll's Bobke, A ride on the wild side of cycling, in excellent condition I would like to sell. This book is a real hoot, lotsa pictures (ever seen Roll and his team mates in revealing two-piece bating suites?) that really spice this book up. Much better than the plain-jane (no pics) Bobke2 IMO.

These books have sold for $100's of dollars on EBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3648068717&category=2904

I don't know why one would pay $100s of dollars for a book that can be had for $11 at Amazon in the form of Bobke II (includes the original Bobke and some added stuff since that time)

While Bobke II contains the original text from Bobke, it doesn't have the pictures and copies of 'Letters To The Editor' of Velownews that Bobke had. The format and layout of Bobke were different too. I bought Bobke II and then found a copy of Bobke. Seen in the original context, Bobke is much better than Bobke II.
