I have been searching knowledge about touring bicycles for a year or so both on the net and local book stores.
Not many books i could find about touring bikes and most of that i found are lack of details and in dapth study on the subject matter.
I really enjoy Tony's book and it gives what i really look for.
The book is not about up-to-date bicycle frame, components and technology, it is about design philosophy which will not out of date.
Get one if you like to know more about touring bicycle design.

How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
