1.0 out of 5 stars All text, no photos, June 27, 2007

This review is from: Art of the Chopper II (Hardcover)

Zimberoff is an excellent photographer. Unfortunately he's not much of a writer, something someone should have pointed out when he created this book. This book features very little of the photography that made the original Art of the Chopper so exciting, replacing it with Zimberoff's self-indulgent and self-aggrandizing writing. I was excited about this book, but once I saw it, I decided to wait for it to hit the half-price bookstores and bargain shelves, and even then I might skip it.

This review is from: Art of the Chopper II (Hardcover)

I really enjoyed this book. Not being a regular reader of chopper mags, I knew little about the builders covered in the book and found the background info very interesting. Infact, there is more relevant info regarding the death of Indian Larry here than in the "Chopper Shaman". Stunning photography and a great range of bike styles. This is a great book that I will enjoy everytime I pick it up. Trying to match up the inside sleeve shots with the bikes covered inside is interesting too.
