Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. 294 pages, 130 black & white illustrations, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. In 1963, Temple Press UK published a revised and expanded 4th UK edition of 'Tuning for Speed' and, in 1965, they published a reprint of that 1963 edition. Both the 1963 and the 1965 publications are identical in content and contain 294 pages, a significant increase from the previous 208 page 1960 printing. With a total of 294 pages, the revised and expanded 4th UK edition is the most comprehensive of all of the 'Tuning for Speed' editions ever published. Earlier editions only stretched to 208 pages and later editions shrunk to 260 pages (or less) as what was thought to be 'dated information' was deleted from the contents. This 'dated information' is considered valuable today by those enthusiasts interested in vintage motorcycle tuning and modification. Consequently, this makes the revised 4th UK publication the most complete and desirable edition. Therefore, it is our pleasure to offer this reprint of the Floyd Clymer 'Revised 4th UK Edition or Second American Edition of 'Tuning for Speed' to motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide. 'Tuning for Speed' was originally published in 1948 and continuously reprinted and updated in order to keep pace with the constantly evolving range of British motorcycles and engines. While the primary focus of this publication is on 1965 and prior British motorcycles, the theory and engineering it contains is still applicable to the current crop of high revving imports. 'Tuning for Speed' is considered by many knowledgeable motorcycle enthusiasts to be one of the best books ever written on how to improve, modify and fine tune a motorcycle engine and it is often referred to as one of the 'top 10' classic motorcycle books. The Floyd Clymer association with this publication dates back to the early 1960's when he purchased the United States Publishing rights for 'Tuning for Speed' from Temple Press in the UK and, in 1967, Clymer published the 1st American edition of that title. However, by 1967, the Clymer publication had been preceded by 8 printings of the UK edition and was incorrectly identified by Clymer as a 9th edition. In fact, the 1967 Clymer publication is actually a reprint of the less desirable 208 page 1960 UK edition. However, in 1963, the 4th UK edition was revised and expanded to 294 pages (with a second identical re-print in 1965). Therefore, this 2nd American edition of the Floyd Clymer publication of 'Tuning for Speed' includes all of that valuable 'dated information' that was deleted from the later editions and is identical in all respects to the 294 page1963/1965 revised and expanded 4th UK edition - with the exception that 7 pages of UK-based advertising to the rear of the book are not included in the Clymer publication. 294 pages, 130 black & white illustrations, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches.

Hardback. Condición: Good. Some books promise transformation. Tuning for Speed promises, with admirable bluntness, that if you adjust things correctly, they might go faster. Not spiritually faster. Not metaphorically faster. Actually faster. Which, in 1951, was quite enough to build a reputation on. Written by P. E. Irving and published by Temple Press, this is one of those glorious mid-century engineering books that treats speed not as a lifestyle, but as a problem to be solved with spanners, patience and a slightly alarming level of mechanical intimacy. The title alone is perfect. No fluff. No branding exercise. Just Tuning for Speed . You bring the machine. Irving will explain what to do to it. And that is the real charm here. This is from an era when performance was not bought, but coaxed?sometimes aggressively?from metal, fuel and nerve. Engines were not sealed mysteries; they were open invitations. The idea that one might dismantle, adjust and improve a machine in pursuit of greater velocity was not eccentric. It was practically expected. This book exists for the sort of person who looks at a perfectly functional engine and thinks, yes, but could it be faster? There is something deeply satisfying about that mindset. Modern performance often arrives pre-packaged, warranty-protected and slightly suspicious of human interference. Tuning for Speed belongs to a different world entirely. A world where understanding mattered, where improvement was manual, and where ?tuning? involved more than selecting a different driving mode. It is engineering as craft, speed as reward, and mechanical sympathy as a moral virtue. Of course, there is also a gentle irony in reading about speed at the measured pace of a printed page. The roar of engines, the precision of adjustments, the thrill of incremental gains?all carefully explained in sentences that proceed with calm authority. It is speed translated into stillness, motion into method. A book that asks you to slow down in order to go faster. Which, when you think about it, is probably the most sensible advice in the entire enterprise. As sold by Crappy Old Books, this copy is in Good condition, with the dust jacket in fair condition and a few bits missing. Which is, frankly, exactly what you want. A book about tuning engines should not look as though it has spent its life in a glass case. It should have a little wear, a touch of history, perhaps the faint suggestion that it has been consulted in earnest. The slightly imperfect dust jacket only adds to the authenticity. A pristine copy might feel suspiciously theoretical. This one feels as though it has at least contemplated real machinery. And there is something particularly pleasing about the survival of such a book. Once a practical guide for enthusiasts and engineers, it now serves as both historical document and cultural artefact. It tells us not only how machines were improved, but how people thought about machines: with seriousness, respect and a willingness to get involved at a level modern ownership rarely demands. For collectors of motoring and motorcycle literature, engineering enthusiasts, lovers of mid-century technical writing, or anyone who enjoys books that take their subject entirely seriously, this is a gem. It is precise, purposeful and quietly evocative of a time when speed was pursued with tools rather than software and when knowledge was something you could hold, annotate and perhaps slightly smudge. So this is more than a manual. It is a compact tribute to the idea that performance is earned, that machines can be understood, and that speed?proper speed?is the result of careful, informed adjustment rather than blind luck. A book that respects its reader enough to assume they might actually want to know how things work. Tuning for Speed is not glamorous, but it is foundational, formidable and faintly heroic in its dedication to doing things properly. Condition: Good. Dust jacket fair, with a few bits missing?much like many of the machines it once inspired, still entirely capable and all the more interesting for a little wear. Sold by Crappy Old Books. …
