I thought I had a great one in "Bicycle Repair Step-by-Step" by Rob Van Der Plas... copyright 2002.
But.... it's missing pages 32-48, and pages 81-96 are in there twice. I see he is based in San Francisco. Maybe one of you California girls has a line on this guy and knows if, or how I could get my copy replaced with one that isn't missing pages? Great book, good color photos, just missing some pertinent sections.

Write to the publisher. They should be able to give you the missing pages. Or you could get it from the library and photocopy them. Publisher is probably your best bet for the best quality.
The author has no control over the printing and binding, and won't have copies of the book or of the missing pages to send you."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

I really love my Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance. It has easy to understand explanations and good illustrations of stuff.
