This magnificent book was published for The Discount Tire Company (www.discounttire.com). The poster collection was started by the founder and chairman, Bruce T. Halle. The company`s curator, Susan Driver, is credited with giving expert information about these wonderful pieces of art and for acquiring some of the collection; she also signed this book to Howie on the Title Page. This is a 249-page hard cover (copyright 2007) book (first edition) illustrating 264 of the many posters that were produced advertising tires (for bicycles, motorcycles and automobiles) in the nineteenth century and early 20th century. The dimensions are 10 x 11 3/4 inches, the condition is mint (new). See the picture gallery for a few of the images relating to bicycle tires.  Because of its importance, this book is also listed in the category for Posters-Antique.
