Art of the Chopper

Summary: nice book
Review: After seing a piece on Zimberoff and this book on Speed Channel I headed down to borders to check it out. The pictures are amazing.They really do the bikes justice and help show why some of these machines belong in museums. There is a brief bio of the builders at the begining of each chapter.The only reason I'm giving this four stars is the absence of Indian Larry!! I'll admit I'm biased since his bikes are my favorite and for all I know Larry didn't want his bikes in this book..having seen many profiles on Larry it wouldn't surprise me if this was the case...now that Larry is gone maybe Zimberoff could make a small retrospective book on just Larry himself. Regardless there are plenty of styles to suit all chopper fans..from low and long to super high ape hangers...many of my friends that aren't down with choppers or even motorcylces for that matter are shocked to see this on my bookshelf..but after looking through the first few pages they always end up sitting down and checking it out front to back!..it's a real conversation starter.

Summary: A superb compendium of information enhanced photos
Review: 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".

Summary: Art of the Chopper is wonderful
Review: 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.

Summary: A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
Review: 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!!

Summary: A GOOD BOOK BUT NOT A GREAT BOOK
Review: THIS IS A GOOD BOOK WITH INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT TWENTY OF THE TOP CUSTOM BIKE BUILDERS. IT IS LOADED WITH GREAT PHOTOGRAPHS OF AWESOME CHOPPERS. THE REASON THAT I SAY THAT THIS IS A GOOD BOOK BUT NOT A GREAT BOOK IS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WHEN INDIAN LARRY IS NOT EVEN MENTIONED. IN MY OPINION ANYWAY, INDIAN LARRY WAS THE QUINTESSENTIAL BIKE BUILDER. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.
