Mountain Biking by Herman Mills,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mountain Biking (Adventure Sports) (Paperback)
Book covers everything I can think of and is good for novice on up. I don't know how useful it would be for an expert -- I'm not one! Clearly written and good pix.
