Customer comments on this selection.
 From good to bad
If you have seen the original Art of the Chopper book which had beautiful clear glossy photos of choppers, where you could see the finest of details and are expecting the same from Art of the Chopper II then you will be disappointed, as the photos look like poorly scanned copies of choppers out of a magazine or news paper. So, if you want to read about chopper builders this book may interest you, but if you would like to see the choppers these builders build, then look somewhere else.
All text, no photos
Zimberoff is an excellent photographer. Unfortunately he's not much of a writer, something someone should have pointed out when he created this book. This book features very little of the photography that made the original Art of the Chopper so exciting, replacing it with Zimberoff's self-indulgent and self-aggrandizing writing. I was excited about this book, but once I saw it, I decided to wait for it to hit the half-price bookstores and bargain shelves, and even then I might skip it.
 Chopper art
I really enjoyed this book. Not being a regular reader of chopper mags, I knew little about the builders covered in the book and found the background info very interesting. Infact, there is more relevant info regarding the death of Indian Larry here than in the "Chopper Shaman". Stunning photography and a great range of bike styles. This is a great book that I will enjoy everytime I pick it up. Trying to match up the inside sleeve shots with the bikes covered inside is interesting too.
