  • Philosophy lectures in a road trip novel!

    I read this book back in the mid seventies and found it stimulating and entertaining. I saw the 40th anniversary edition for sale and decided to revisit. I was again entertained and it hasn't dated at all.

  • I read this book 40 years ago and it has more meaning the second time. Not for people expecting some detailed motorcycle maintenance.

    Book arrived in excellent condition. Latest edition of the book but the contents and meaning are the same.

  • A must read for the intellectual mind

    This book has sold millions of copies for decades in many languages. It's a must read for those interested in phylosophy.
