Michael Upright's One Percent is a captivating book for a number of reasons.

First of all, the book offers a rare view inside the world of the Outlaws. People outside the biker community seldom (if ever) gain close access to this type of club. The intimacy reflected in Upright's photos is proof that he succeeded in gaining the group's trust. He earned it. This isn't tabloid voyeurism. This is an objective look at a complex group. The Outlaws are very much human in Upright's portraits.

The photographs themselves are stunning. For those who love motorcycles, the book is an homage to bikes and bikers. For those who aren't particularly into bikes, you will be. Upright's photos make these machines look like trophies of the American highway.

Finally, the photographs are spectacularly reproduced. I am often disappointed by the quality of photography books--the photos appear dull and somewhat lifeless. The photos in One Percent are clean, clear and crisp. I enjoy the incredible detail more with every read.

I highly recommend One Percent. It's a fascinating look into the fringe of society as told through the lens of a skilled photographer.

I should have read more reviews before buying this book. It was about 2 pages of writing and the rest pictures. All the pictures looked like they could have all been taken at one run, because you see the same guys over and over. Also it's not a book of a few 1%er clubs as the title might have you think, but only OUTLAWS mc. Don't waste your money.

There are some good photos but they are mostly OUTLAWS and why in the world didn't the publisher just call it OUTLAWS MC? I was under the impression this was going to cover all 1%ers it didn't! AFFA

This is a book of the outlaw motorcycle club. I bought it for it said 1% so I thought it would have pictures in it of all the 1% clubs but it only has pictures of the outlaws club only. it is only pictures of the club on a run and with there ladies.a this is only a picture book there are no descriptions of the pictures but the picture quality is quite good most of the pictures are self explanatory

Just one club, just one party. Not really what you would spend your money on.

The best pictoral review from an outsiders point of view that I've ever seen!!! An all picture book which needs no words. The photographer (Michael H. Upright) has captured the Biking and Brotherhood world at it's best without being a patched member! Thanks to the Outlaws MC1%ers for this inside look at the best biking and brotherhood organization in the world!...

I LOVED the pic in the book where the HA was riding bitch with an OL!! I never knew they were that close. Great book, just wish they had captions or stories with the pics.

One percenters are outlaws, this is an interesting read about a very interesting subject. Don't miss a rare Harley Davidson Novel "THE SECOND COMING OF AGE" by: Vedrine
