Art of the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Hardcover – October 22, 2011

I purchased Art of the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle for my father for his birthday. I just received it and it looks beautiful! The pictures are so crisp and clear it is definitely art! I was telling my friend that the book itself looks kind of like a year book. Same kind of binding and material in the cover, then I realized, it basically is a year book for Harleys! Every page has a beautiful photograph with a paragraph or so about the bike, year it was made, so on and so forth. I don't know much about Harleys so I can't say much about the actual content but in general it is beautiful and I think any Harley-Davidson enthusiast would love it!

I bought this as a Christmas gift for a Harley guy who's tough to buy for. He LOVED it. You can tell when a man likes a gift. They're no good at faking their reactions to gifts (the way women are!) The cover was fabric and had an embossed feel, which really impressed him. He's not even a "coffee table book" kinda guy, but he was saying he's excited to have it out on display. From the photos I saw, it looks like a very well-made and comprehensive book on Harleys. I think this would make a great gift for any Harley person, man or woman. Highly recommend.

I went into this whole Harley Davidson thing with some trepidation. Harley Davidson seems a bit pretentious... however after reading this book I realized that not only is HD pretentious, they are (as a whole) egotistical, overly protective, have a complete double standard with a superiority complex and they love to rewrite history. The bikes are nice, but not that nice, the products are overpriced... but the book is good.Whew.. glad I got that off my chest (I am really surprised that Amazon even lets me review stuff after the whole Banzai Tree thing....)

This was a gift for a friend who is a Harley enthusiast and has owned and ridden several models. As a non motorcycle-enthusiast, I appreciated the photography and elegant design, but there was also plenty of interesting commentary to be a treasure trove for my friend.

good gift idea. The photos are beautiful and as far as I could tell, the narrative is very informative. I gave it to a nephew-in-law for Christmas and both he and his kids loved it.

This picture and short-story book is filled with great photos of Harley bikes, older and current models. It's great reading for everyone interested in the "art of the motorcycle", not only Harley owners looking at Harley bikes. You get a historical perspective on the older bikes that is very interesting. The photo's are really crisp and pleasing to the eye. Highly recommended for your own book collection or as a gift for a friend who appreciates transportation art. Even Car Guys will like the book. 5 stars.

Bought this for a friend as a brithday gift. He loves it and it's a nice size, kind of like a "coffee table" book. The price was right and it was a packaged well and shrink wrapped.

This book gave me both brilliant pictures and more knowledge of Harley Davidson..I have already "read" it a number of times...
