Hit me up with suggestions for a good book for a great read and lovely photos. Something along the lines of:
Rough Stuff Fellowship Archive
Bike Mechanic: Tales from the Road and Workshop
73 Degrees
I've had a look and haven't found much other than biographies.
Graham Fifes climbs books, Alps and Pyrenees
What about that Wiggins Opus 101 giant ~15Kg hardback that original sold for £125, but now can be had for ~£25?
^ that's the sort of thing, keep them coming...
Not so sure of the Wiggins book though, if I'm reading about the pro peloton I'd rather read behind the scenes or someone less successful, everyone know Wiggins. Looking for more adventure/epic ride based stuff.
A Year in the Saddle by John Deering and Phil Ashley - two mates take on an "epic" ride a month. Great pics, matey banter.
Best 100 Mile Bike Routes by Chris Sidwells
Two Days in Yorkshire is very nice if you can get hold of it.
stumpjumper 25 year anniversary book.
A Year in the Saddle look good, that's one to get.
Escape By Bike is an interesting read and looks good on the coffee table.
You've got this then? https://singletrackmag.com/shop/fat-tire-flyer-repack-and-the-birth-of-mountain-biking-by-charlie-kelly/
There's a book about Gary Fisher supposed to be out too. Not seen an actual copy yet so don't know how coffee table-esque it is.
No I don't, and that is a good suggestion. A link has been sent to my wife for a Christmas present. 👍
Mountain High and Mountain Higher are both good coffee table bike books.
Two Days in Yorkshire is very nice if you can get hold of it.
Is what I was going to suggest. I bought it straight away when it came out as I live in Harrogate and I wanted to have a permanent record of the event.
Lonely Planet's Epic series is very coffee table and has stories and pics from a wide range of riders, inc Rob Penn, Lael Wilcox, Cass Gilbert etc:
Anything (everything?) from Misspent Summers would do the trick for me - definitely ticks the 'lovely photos' box.
Came to say Epic Bike Rides of the World. Prepare to make early retirement plans.
Those Lonely Planet look good, I'll pass on Viz though.

This is nice for something art focused - depends if it's actually for you to read or just for people to flick through in a waiting room style?
Other good one is this:
Iconic bicycle designs
Both next to our downstairs loo, but coffee table worthy
Ultimate Etapes is quite easy on the eye. Plus it's a handy reference book for planning some epic cycling adventures.
Putting them into practice is another matter.
Hans Rey signed copy 😀
Mountain High by Daniel Friebe. Love it for a flick though bit of riding inspiration.
