A BEAUTIFUL BOOK

When a treasure trove of vintage motorcycle drawings, press cuttings, notebooks and more were discovered, a classic bike enthusiast resolved that they should be shared with the world. The cream of the crop are presented in 'Precise in Every Part', which offers an overview from the personal archive of technical artist Francis Simpson. Simpson provided drawings for the 'Motor Cycle', the Douglas Company, Vincent-HRD, Matchless and more. Editing the collection must have taken many months of hard work and the result is a captivating insight into the motorcycle

industry of the inter-war years. Any single drawing could

fascinate an old bike fan for hours, and here are dozens to look at.

 Compiler Alan Freke was keen to make this marvellous material available to as many readers as possible, so he contrived to produce a hardback of considerable quality for around half the price you would expect to pay. That's so we can all 'appreciate the simplicity of line, that so beautifully brought cold metal to life'
