A lot of folks don't want to read the latest cycling books published. For good reason! If the Landis book or the latest Walsh book leave you cold, there is great news for fans of cycling literature!!!

Dave Shields, author of The Race and The Tour helped Raisin to write his story. They are publishing it as Tour de Life: From Coma to Competition. The book is slated for release in September, but Shields has a limited number of copies available now on his web site. Some of the copies will be autographed by Saul, and all by Dave.

They run about thirty bones, which isn't cheap, but I'm happy to pay for good writing, a great story, and hope to boot! It is especially nice to have something about cycling not related to the all-pervasive sleaze of the summer's other cycling book releases.

*edit* I noticed that the copy I bought sends some $ back to the Daily Peleton, where I read about the book being available. I wonder if the PC can swing a similar deal? Original DP Forum posting by Dave Shields.

Dave Shields

FWIW, Dave Shields deserves some dop from you just because of his hustle. He was there at the Tour de Georgia, on top of Brasstown Bald, offering his book to any and everyone until the very last person had left the mountain. Not pushy, not crass. Just doing his damndest to make sure that as many people as possible knew about his books. I've known a fair number of authors, and I've never seen one put as much effort into getting his/her work out there as Dave. Much respect.
