Description: A gift-worthy 1999 Viking SIGNED FIRST Edition hardcover of the entertaining and highly acclaimed . . .Bicycle Diariesby David Byrne, avid New York City bicyclist and founder of the musical group Talking Heads Condition: This book is in near-pristine, seemingly unread condition with an attractive cover, a sound binding, and wonderfully clean text pages that are free from rips, tears, and marks other than the author's signature on the Title page. No dust jacket, as issued. From RAVE Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Turns out David Byrne can write more than quirky song lyrics! I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book, but DB delivers well-written and interesting stories about places and people he’s discovered while biking the world essentially. And he doesn’t just give objective observations, he delves into WHY some things and places are the way they are. As David Byrne might say, It’s a completely cool, multi-purpose book. ;-)"; "David Byrne is not the kind of rock star who goes for stretch limos and private jets. He prefers to cycle round the places he visits. This book shows that as well as his many other talents, he's also a gifted travel writer, writing from a cyclist's eye level view about Berlin, Istanbul, Buenos Aires, Manila, Sydney, London, San Francisco and a variety of US cities, most notably his home town of New York. But on top of THAT he is then able to digress into whole other areas of art, politics, philosophy and history. A lot of interesting topics tackled by an interesting man."; "I now want to bike all around the world. Had some very interesting opinions and ideas about culture and music that I recommend to people. A very cool travel/memoir/journal book" With us, you'll always see several photos of the actual item(s) you will receive.Prompt FREE USPS Media Mail shipping to USA.eBay International Shipping service worldwide.Thanks for looking!
