(Wonder what "ECI #290" means. . . .) <http://homepage.interaccess.com/~opcc/bc/>. The Bicycle, by Pryor Dodge. Paris: Flammarion, 1996. ISBN 2-08013-551-1. Distributed in the US by Abbeville Press (same ISBN), $50. Lavishly produced hardback book about the history of the bicycle, intelligently written and superbly illustrated. Considering what you get, it is good value--especially as it is available discounted. (Amazon charge $35.) Bicycling Japan: A Touring Handbook, by Suzanne Lee. Carmichael, Calif.: Zievid Press, 1991. ISBN 0-9627458-0-4. $6.95. In print (I think). A slim paperback with a lot of information about cycling around Japan. Aimed toward people who are new to Japan, but still of use to those who know it other than as cyclists. Lacks information or tips about where are better places to go. Cycling Japan: A Personal Guide to Exploring Japan by Bicycle, ed. Bryan Harrell. Tokyo & New York: Kodansha International, 1993. ISBN 4-7700-1742-1. 2200 yen / US$18. In print. A paperback with some tips on cycling in Japan, but much more about particular itineraries. So specific--with phone numbers of minshuku (pensions), etc.--that it is likely to become dated and should therefore be used with care.
