The number of little scooters seen with each title below is my personal rating for the book, and is subject to my tastes only. The more scooters, the better I like it; I’ll try and tell you why whenever possible. Because so many of the books are in languages I don’t read, I often prefer books with uncommon pictures and cool bikes. Prices are usually stated in the currency in which I paid along with a guesstimate in U.S. dollars, your mileage may vary.
I don’t have thumbnails scanned for all of these yet, but I’ll keep after it.
