In the community where I live, by the mailboxes, there is a table where people put mail that was delivered to their box by mistake, and/or people put stuff there they want to get rid of thinking someone else might want it.
The other day, someone left this book there.
What a great find for me.
Anyone else have this book?
I 've got about 4 versions of that book that I received as gifts. I've read them.
We have these "little free libraries" scattered around many communities here. I may donate them, if they fit in there.
Tod Rafferty is an HD historian, he did/does? a good job of hitting the highlights and more interesting stuff. The photos and print quality are both top shelf.
I wrote a few Harley books for Motorbooks International a few years ago. One I remember was the Shovelhead book.
If any of you are interested, I'll dig them out and post the titles. They look just like Tod Rafferty's book as far as size, cover and binding.

Reason: spelling
I have "The Complete Catalog of Harley-Davidson" by Tod Rafferty. It is a large coffee table book, 14-1/2" x 11", with a red Knucklehead on the cover, 159 pages. It was given to me.
Thanks for the heads up on this. There we’re two left of what the OP listed on Amazon for $21.40 with free shipping.
Now there’s one.
Edit: And this is available also for $6.00 on Amazon.

When I clicked on it I got a pop-up message from Amazon that said I had ordered a different version of the same book. They were both published in 1997. Not sure why the different titles and covers.

Gal across the street has one we use, always shifting content. Stuffed my share of books into it.
Back the OP, yeah I have that very book out in the garage collecting dust.
