Brown cloth covered boards with gilt titles to spine/ A Very good copy in a Good plus, unclipped jacket. The jacket with tape reinforcement to folds, else very good. A touch of foxing to the top edge, toning to endpapers, slight lean. Shows well, in the superiorly illustrated jacket by John Sewell.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a sprawling philosophical novel that blends Eastern religious and Western philosophical traditions with practical advice for the upkeep of motorcycles, struggles with mental health and the challenges of fatherhood.
A nice copy of this influential and immensely readable book.
