50 Years of Schwinn built Bicycles Book

[kreika]

Is this book rare or widely published? I searched here and found a few posts and sales regarding it. Sold in 2013 for seventy bucks. I bought it on epay in the late 90's early 2000's for cheap. It was listed in some obscure area. Even has its original box cover for shipping.

This is more or less Frank Schwinn's homage to his dad, Ignaz. That said not a bad read but more 'fluff' than 'stuff' so if you are looking for some obscure production data or insight on certain models you won't find it here. I think most serious Schwinn collectors feel this is a must have for their collections. Like most specialty books this probably had a fairly low run which makes them a little harder to find although I wouldn't call them rare. V/r Shawn
