"Uncle Jim" Reynolds is a Norton fan, and has been for most of his life. Taking his subject matter seriously as always, his book makes an enjoyable read as well as showing a lot of very nice period shots with few modern photographs of restored machines thrown in. 

The only fault I can find with it is that Jim makes out the Rem Fowler 1907 TT winner replica contains parts of the original machine, which is impossible, recounting how it was cobbled together from period bits after WW2, but apart from this popular and annoying myth I can find nothing wrong with the book that covers the first sixty years of the marque, ending in 1958. 

A nice balance between the inevitable racing pictures and road machines is maintained, making the book one of interest to production and racing machine fans alike. The texts in general are short, historically correct (bar the lapse above), and to the point, and cover key persons as well as the machines they rode.

A worthy addition to the Norton fans bookshelf.
