Wilfried Wilms writes in from Belgium saying, "I would like to draw your attention to my website which is mainly a comprehensive (but not exhaustive) database of books on professional cycle racing (published in English, French, Italian and German). It is a non-commercial site. It provides two entries for browsing through the book titles: by language (and subsequently by author) or by theme (e.g. biographies; or juvenile literature). Finally, the site also contains a collection of book reviews copied from the Web or taken from good old paper-based magazines.
I became passionate about professional race cycling in 1961 when I saw Rik Van Looy win his second world champion title. I began collecting books of my favorite sport in 2003. With a view to establishing a shopping list I undertook research on the net of books that are available on the market. As the list expanded steadily, I started playing with the idea of posting a comprehensive database on the Web."
The result is Wilms on Wheels Cycle Racing Books, http://www.wilmsonwheels.be/. Worth a visit, a very impressive undertaking.
