    I have seen the following books on Amazon recently, and wonder if they are worth a read.
    Off Road Giants vol 2
    Legendary Motocross Bikes

    There must be a "Off Road Giants vol 1", so I guess my enquiry would apply to that one as well.

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Off Road Giants! 1 & 2 are by Andy Westlake who is an established motorcycle journalist and a fan of our favourite marque. They are well written, well researched and well illustrated. Wherever possible they are based on personal interviews with the riders concerned. Many significant Greeves riders are featured. They are a good read and a useful reference. Recommended.

    I guess there's a third volume on the way - I mean, he hasn't "done" Dave Bickers yet!

    Don't know about the other one, haven't got it. Let us know what you think if you do buy it.
