Adventure Motorcycling Handbook, 5th: Worldwide Motorcycling Route & Planning Guide (Trailblazer) Review
Very good book on the subject and immensely enjoyable but I am only 1/3 thru it.
Best point is the terse language. Say what needs to be said on a particular subject and move on. Don’t dwell or indulge yourself. Any english teacher would be very proud.
Worst point is the small form factor of the book which detracts from some of the black and white photography making the pictures hard to see for my 40 year old eyes. This format is meant to be taken with you on the adventure. But the author publisher could indulge himself in a large format book that is used only for the the planning stagess at home when space is not a problem. I think the english teachers would allow a bit more. Both would still be recommended. There is no deception. The listing correctly lists the format.
