During
more than 20 years of devotion to juggling, Ziethen has compiled the
finest collection in Europe and probably the world. It includes more
than 10,000 photos, as well as files and files bulging with
biographies, programs, photographs, videotapes, posters and props.
He has wanted for many years to share this treasure trove with a
wider audience and he does so in this book with eminent class.
How
To Build Unicycles and Artistic Bicycles (2nd edition). by Jack
Wiley. ISBN 0-913999-13-X. Solipaz Publishing Co., Lodi, CA. The
second edition is a completely revised and greatly expanded version of
a book originally published in 1983. Its 81 8" x 10" - inch
pages include 131 photos and computer-generated line drawings
illustrating how to build unicycles and artistic bicycles. This manual
details how to turn used bicycle parts and/or stock material into a
variety of standard unicycles, handlebar units, giraffe unicycles, and
artistic and novelty bicycles.
The
book begins with an explanation of basic construction techniques and
assemblies. Construction requires considerable time and metalworking
skills, but for those so equipped, this is surely the most complete
and detailed manual available on the subject. It includes an index and
appendix listing sources for parts needed to build 'em yourself. |
