Being Gary Fisher
Gary Fisher's book has finally hit print, a little late for the Christmas season. It's called "Being Gary Fisher."
It's not available through traditional book outlets like Amazon or book stores, only from Trek or through Trek dealers.

FWIW, "Fat Tire Flyer" has a good home on my cycling bookshelf.

Gary Fisher is cool.
All those early pioneers were, very inspirational.

With Trek owning distribution of the book, hopefully they don't kill it off like they killed off Fisher's bike brand.

I am perilously close to pulling the trigger on both the aforementioned books but I'm afraid it might cause me to buy a mountain bike.

Heck a good bit of the modern gravel stuff is morphing into sort of what the early mountain bike pioneers were doing in a sense.

It just arrived last night. The mail human left it out in the rain. Fortunately, the book was shrink-wrapped, so if you had any say in that, you saved mine from being ruined, so thank you! Once opened, the book looks great on the inside, too. I will look forward to reading it.

Got my personal copy, hand delivered by The Man himself, and signed of course.
