The Liitle Book of Trikes by Adam QuellinAuthor Adam Quellin is the editor of the Messerschmitt Owners Club magazine so it is no surprise he has an interest in vehicles with only three wheels. In fact this small soft-back is a follow on from a similar sized book on Microcars and follows the same format of being mainly pictorially led.
In just under 100 glossy pages he takes us though the history of the Trike from the start of the last century to the present. Included are production machines as well as homemade creations. By the end you realise that the term Triking covers a really broad spectrum of vehicles and as such creates many possibilities for any potential builders.

It is well illustrated as you would expect, although some images could be improved and it could do with an appendix of firms in the business for people to investigate further. However, at £4.99 it is not going to break the bank and it is a useful addition to the bookshelf.
