And another Book

Two books in one year is a bit much for me, but this one is a *very very good* one because it spells out that which I know is true, it gives me a nice warm fuzzy feeling. I take it to bed and read a few pages, feel good and go to sleep.

From the pommy "Bicycling Magazine" and edited by Ben Hewitt it is described as 100 all-time TOP TIPS for cyclists Interestingly enough, it has two ISBNs, a 10 and 13 digit one. Obviously 10 digits weren't enough and one can only wonder how long 13 digits will last. (They need the equivalent of IPv6 for books)

ISBN-10 1-4050-8896-0
ISBN-13 978-1-4050-8896-0
(A difference of 978 pehaps)


I made a barcode of the 10 digit one with Kbarcode and Lo!, it added the 978 found in the 13 digit ISBN code. very interesting.




Actually there is only 627 tips according to the index, which breaks the index up into categories,
Safety
Bike Care
Health and Fitness
Nutrition
to name just four of them

The book was published by Rodale Books and the edition I have looks like it was printed 2005.

Thanks to my daughter for thinking of me on father's day.
