The Vincent in the Barn: Great Stories of Motorcycle Archaeology Paperback – Illustrated, June 29, 2013

A gift. Receiver was very happy. Well packaged. Fast shipping

Had a good time with this book. My unfounded expectations were the only thing working against this title as I was hoping for a few more stories of regular joes who happened upon great finds whereas most were tales of the serious collector or museum making acquisitions. Still, extremely enjoyable and really gave some good insight into how these "holy grails" of motorcycle archeology actually take place! Ultimately I'd recommend the book to anyone interested in acquiring their own antique motorcycle.

His was my fifth book from Tom and not one had disappointed!

If you love motorcycles and remember "back in the day" this is a must read. These short stories collectively sew a wonderfully rich and colorful tapestry of those great stories guys tell other guys, who know and love bikes, that when shared cannot help but bring smiles and remembrance of a time past and another story not yet shared. All of Tom's books are great but I personally, particularly, enjoyed this one the most, for it's wide and diverse spectrum of experiences. A great page turner that you will be sorely tempted to speed through but pace yourself as each story is a gem to enjoy on its own. R.K.Ryan, Harrisburg, NC

Interesting perspective on finding vintage bikes. Most of the "finders" are professionals, but this does not diminish the excitement of discovering those lost, missplaced or hidden bikes. The clear message is that they are still out there and you need to work the network if you want to make that find.The collection of stories are well written and presented. I would have liked to have seen more pictures at the find, but realize that this is easy to suggest in hindsight.

I ordered this book in great condition and it looks brand new. There are so many interesting photos and stories in all Tom Cotter's books and very well-written and entertaining for my father, father-in-law, brother and friend. MERRY CHRISTMAS to a fine author, TOM COTTER

I too could not put down this book. The stories / tales of motorcycle finds from around the world within this book were all great reads. You'll read not only about Vincents, but Indians, Harleys, Triumphs, and many more bikes, some you may have never heard of. I highly recommend this book regardless of what brand motorcycle you ride. There is only one "con" to this book, and that is it has a ending. You'll think what a great read, I want to read more!

I purchased this book for my husband for his recent birthday. He loves books but very seldom ever finishes one. I have to say, he could not put this book down. He loved it and was so disappointed when he got to the last page! He also read it in a matter of a few days which also impressed me. I'm tempted to get the other "in the barn" books for him, hoping he will enjoy reading them as much as he enjoyed The Vincent in the Barn!
