to the Archive indexFor enthusiasts new to the hobby, it may be prudent to list the four well known books published during the 1950s that deal with many aspects of interest and which also have line drawings and photographs of our machines. Although long out of print they can still be picked up at autojumbles in fair condition for around £5 each, and some are available in the Club library. However, for those members who also belong to their local public library, there is another way open to them to acquire these books on loan. A recent visit to the Central Liverpool Library revealed in their main index, the following books under the heading of "Cyclemotors":
