156 pages, 96 black & white illustrations, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Originally published under the title The Book of the BSA, by F.J. Camm this book is one of The Motorcyclist's Library series published in the USA by Floyd Clymer by arrangement with the original publishers, Pitman Ltd. of London, England.
This re-print of the 1935 seventh edition of the Motorcyclist Library 'Book of the BSA' was selected as being a significant edition as it includes repair, maintenance and overhaul information for the 1927 through 1935 'Sloper' engined models in addition to many of the BSA motorcycles that were in production as far back as 1914.
Motorcycles that are specifically covered are the 1.49HP OHV X35-0, 2.49HP SV B35-1, 2.49HP OHV B35-2, 2.49HP OHV De Luxe B35-3, 3.48HP OHV De Luxe R35-4, 3.48HP OHV Blue Star R35-5, 4.99HP SV W35-6, 4.99HP OHV W35-7, 4.99HP OHV Blue Star W35-8, 4.99HP OHV Special W35-9, 5.95HP SV M35-10, 5.95HP OHV M35-11, 4.98HP OHV V- Twin J35-12, 9.86HP SV V-Twin G35-14. Also included are the following sidecar models: Special Sports 21-44, Medium Tourer 21-20, Large Tourer 21-40, Launch 21-42 & Heavy Tourer 6B-6 & 6C-6 plus the 6 different models of the BSA Three Wheeler. Specifications for the 1936 models are included in a separate supplement, however, there were major changes made to the line up in 1936 and these models are covered in much greater detail in the later editions of this same publication.
Unfortunately, service and repair information for BSA motorcycles manufactured prior to 1936 is extremely limited and difficult to find. This is probably due to the fact that BSA never published anything that could be called a workshop manual for these early machines and only began to publish 'service sheets' coincident with the introduction of the B, C & M Series in 1933. However, these 'service sheets' only focused on singular tasks and they were never published for any of the pre 1933 models.
The first edition of the Motorcyclists Library 'Book of the BSA' by the author 'Waysider' (F.J. Camm) was published in 1924 and subsequently revised and published through numerous editions. The first seven editions included data that was applicable to both the current year's models and the earlier machines. In addition, most of them also included supplements for the following year's models. Unfortunately, concurrent with the publication of the 1937 eighth edition (and the 1938 re-print of that same edition) a change of format eliminated information that was applicable to the earlier machines. Consequently, the 1st through 7th (1924 through 1935) editions of the 'Book of the BSA' are the editions that will be of the most use and interest to owners of the pre-1936 machines.

Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
Good service, good book. Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
