Review

Texas Driver, December 2006
“These remarkable machines turn to rolling sculptures when seen through Zimberoff’s eye, an eye honed during his decades of work as a rock ‘n’ roll photographer.”

Art Of The Chopper is a flawless showcase for the photographic skills of Tom Zimberoff. In addition to visually profiling twenty top motorcycle builders, Zimberoff enhances his presentation with an informed and analytical commentary revealing the design philosophies and unique styles behind the manufacture and customization of these outstanding two-wheel motorized vehicles. Art Of The Chopper is a superb compendium of information enhanced photos and a simply outstanding tribute that will be much appreciated by all motorcycling enthusiasts and "chopper buffs".

5.0 out of 5 stars A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words, January 18, 2004

By	Reed Telecomm (Kathryn Santos-Reed) (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews

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

My husband and I were at an Easy Rider custom motorcycle show
in Sacramento. As we were leaving, I stopped to talk with Tom
Zimberoff - I did not realize at the time just how talented this man is - wish that I had, I'd still be there talking to him!

Photography is an art and this photographer is truly an artist! He uses all of the technology available, plus his eye for the perfect shot, and produces a wonderful book full of photos and stories about the icons of the custom motorcycle business. Custom motorcycles are a fascinating subject, Tom Zimberoff adds the icing to the cake with his talent.

Anyone even slightly imterested in motorcycles will love this
book, I did!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Art of the Chopper is wonderful, May 5, 2004

By	Melissa C (New Orleans, LA) - See all my reviews

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

I saw this book on another website and bought it off of Amazon.com and could not be more pleased with it. There are beautiful pictures of choppers and short interview stories to go with each builder. Tom Zimberoff is awesome! I even have my book signed by a few of the bikers. This book is a must buy if you like choppers.
