Choppers and Custom Motorcycles Book

The item is a hardcover book titled "CHOPPERS AND CUSTOM MOTORCYCLES". The book's cover features a visually striking design with a predominantly black background. The title "CHOPPERS" is prominently displayed in large, bold, yellow sans-serif lettering at the top, followed by "AND CUSTOM MOTORCYCLES" in smaller, yellow sans-serif text centered below. The central visual element of the cover is a dynamic full-color photograph of a customized red chopper motorcycle, showing off its intricate chrome details, exposed engine, and elongated front forks, set against an abstract background of orange and black stripes or flames that evoke speed. The physical condition suggests some wear, particularly along the edges and corners of the hard binding. There is noticeable damage to the bottom left corner of the spine/cover, where the material appears torn or scuffed, revealing what might be the underlying board. The book appears to be in a standard coffee-table book size, likely designed for display and containing numerous large format photographs. No specific publisher, author, or publication year is visible. The craftsmanship of the book itself, apart from the observed wear, seems standard for a mass-produced hardcover. The overall aesthetic implies a focus on motorcycle culture, design, and customization, making it appealing to enthusiasts of these vehicles. The visual content and title indicate a collection of photography and information about custom-built motorcycles. The wear indicates it has been handled and potentially enjoyed over time.
