Missing Sunday pages.......2006-12-10
Classic, if deeply flawed, collection of the legendary comic.......2002-09-13
In this book, you will enjoy classic tales like Tracy's first story as well as his cases against great villains like The Blank, 88 Keys, The Brow, Mumbles and Flattop. However, I have to mention that since the sunday strips were not included in this reprint, stories in the strip's prime have gaping holes that those colour ones were supposed to cover. It is not fatal, but it hurts the collection.
Otherwise, if you want to see what this strip at its best was like, then this can be a good example for you. But if you want complete stories, then Dick Tracy Casebook: Favorite Adventures, 1931-1990 could be more for you.

The Provincial Lady in Russia: I Visit the Soviets

Misleading title.......2000-06-25
However when I read it, I discoverd that "The Provincial Lady in Russia" is NOT a novel and it is NOT about "Time and Tide" magazine's "Provincial Lady".
It is, actually, a fascinating factual account of EM Delafield's visit to communist Russia in the 1930's. It has been re-titled in the last 20 years by the publisher, presumably to cash in on the current popularity of "The Provincial Lady" series.
Please DO buy this book if you are interested in social history, English attitudes to communist Russia in the 30's, and witty, erudite, informative writing.
But do NOT buy this book if you are looking for more tales about the Provincial Lady, her husband, their two children, Mademoiselle, the vicar's wife and Lady B!
I find it insulting to the memory and work of EM Delafield (and tremendously insulting to us, her readers) that this book has been "re-branded" in such a cynical way.

Outlaw Machine: Harley Davidson and the Search for the American Soul
Brock Yates Manufacturer: Little, Brown and Company ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0316967181 |
Amazon.com
The Harley-Davidson motorcycle, writes Brock Yates, is a quintessentially American machine: "flawed but honest and forthright, bombastic and audacious like the nation that produced it." Anyone who has pulled off the road to let a pack of Hells Angels roar by, or who has watched an executive trade in his Rolex for leather chaps and a custom Softail, also knows that the allure of the Harley is its rebellious, bad-guy mystique. In Outlaw Machine, Yates sets out to document the history of Harley-Davidson, as a company and as a symbol that helped create--and now sustains--American motorcycle culture.What Yates gives us, in prose that aims for the sound and fury of his subject but sometimes suffers from a lack of agility, is a modern American success story--"the long ride of the Harley-Davidson into the mainstream." It is the story of how the Harley became the vehicle of choice for rebels and outlaw bikers; how the company distanced itself from this media-enhanced, antiestablishment image as it suffered the onslaught of Japanese imports; how the company stumbled, close to bankruptcy, into the '80s when it realized that the hard-core biker contingent exhibited unequaled brand loyalty. "If this rebelliousness, this sheer vitality and off-the-wall lust for the elemental life could somehow be tapped to offset the seamless onslaught of the Japanese, perhaps ... Harley-Davidson could survive."
Harley-Davidson has capitalized on its "reputation of veiled menace" to establish a marketing niche for the record books, and its classically styled, gleaming machines have become one of the most sought-after status symbols of the '90s. Yet Yates suggests that the Harley's power transcends the mainstream's co-option of its renegade image. "If that rumble, that ungodly roar, that death threat to collectivism and convention dies away, it will be time to turn out the lights." --Svenja Soldovieri
Book Description
For decades, motorcycles have been the ultimate symbol of danger, rebellion, and freedom, and Harley-Davidson bikes have always been the baddest of them all. Now, with Outlaw Machine, noted automotive writer Brock Yates tells the definitive history of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Harleys from their relatively wholesome prewar image to the birth of the Hells Angels, and their current worldwide status as the ultimate in style and attitude. He also tells the success story of the company itself, a small family business that transformed itself into the industry leader.Customer Reviews:
American Soul.......2007-03-09
Good Introduction to Bike History.......2004-07-19
I picked up the book on a whim thinking it would have a good bit of history without taking the rest of my life to read, and wasn't disappointed. The book, though not a detailed account of every facet of motorcycling, served its purpose well. It's a good and entertaining introduction into the history of the Harley Davidson.
Several of its points rang true. For instance the fact that Japanese bikes, though undoubtedly technologically superior, just don't have the soul of a Harley sums up the reasons I eventually abandoned the former bikes for the American brand (the difference in price tags had a bit to do with buying one later in life as well, come to think of it).
I truly enjoyed the book, and would suggest it to anyone who is looking for an introduction into Harley history.

A journalist wrote this?.......2002-11-13
For an author to make such incredible mistakes in his material is bad. For a journalist? Inexcusable. Mr.Yates proved time and time again that his research was lacking.
Even without those, Mr.Yates' Holier-than-thou, know-it-all attitude was off-putting at best. For example, a statement which wasn't even related to bikes (about Daytona Bike Week):
"A visitor to Bike Week might conclude that this is a lilly white crowd. There are no blacks and no Hispanics, no minorities of any kind."
Obviously, ol' Brock has looked at every visitor to Bike Week, and has also asked them all about their lineage. This last statement is so ridiculous, it's almost funny.
The only reason I gave this book 2 stars instead of 1 is because some of the pictures were interesting. The text added absolutely nothing of interest, for the innacuracies were just overbearing.
Save your money. There are many other books with much more details about the history of Harley-Davidson. I wouldn't consider this one "research"!
