Hardcover. Condition: New. Cockran, Josh (illustrator). New condition color illustrated boards. Includes A Note on Commuting; Introduction: Commuting by Bicycle and the Indignity Thereof; and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with color drawings. "The joys of commuting by bike attract scores of converts every year. But, as cyclists fill the roads, they also encounter their share of frustrations - careless drivers, wide-flung car doors, zoned-out pedestrians, roller disco in-line skaters, and overly aggressive race-to-the-next-stoplight fellow cyclists. Combined with their own ignorance of cycling do's and dont's it's amazing anyone on two wheels can make it to the corner store without getting run over by a pack of bike salmon. But, never fear. In this follow-up to his best-selling Bike Snob, BikeSnobNYC takes on the trials and triumphs of getting there by bike with humor and enthusiasm, doling out much-needed advice and, ultimately, asking the question: If we become better commuters, will that make us better people?" - from the rear cover "A fierce and entertaining critic." - The New York Times "Long live the Snob." - Lance Armstrong "Bike Snob should be lovingly gifted to all new cyclers - and forcefully smacked against the heads of all the jaded know-it-alls who take the sport way too seriously." - Bill Strickland, Editor-at-Large of Bicycling "A hilaroius look at the ins and outs of bike culture." - People.

6pp., 12mo, paginated 41-46. Unbound stab-stitched pamphlet. A frail survival: aged and worn. Priced at half a crown, and with the following note above the slug: 'No. 9 will be published on Thursday, June 4. | N.B. - All communications to be directed to Mr. Smith, Rose Crescent, which, it is requested, may be post-paid.' The number is almost entirely devoted to an anonymous burlesque play titled 'The Blood-Stained Murderer; or, The Cock and Charley'. Somewhat reminiscent of Sheridan's 'The Critic', and 'The Rovers' from the 'Anti-Jacobin', the play features watchmen, 'a Ghost in frock coat', 'Spirits of Turpentine', Dandybello, Whiskerandos, and Morning Sylphs. 'Article II', titled 'Mathematics' is a short piece of doubtful purport: 'On Saturday next, at Two o'clock, | The Snob will deliver a Lecture on the six first books of Euclid, at the Black Bull. Mr. Hatt has kindly volunteered to sing a comic song, at the close of each book. | N.B. - The Snob will be dressed in character, Trinity College having condescendingly lent him Newton's shoe-strings.' Excessively scarce: the only copies of the periodical on COPAC are at Cambridge University. During his first term at Cambridge Thackeray was a frequent contributor and possible editor of 'The Snob', which ran for eleven numbers from 9 April to 18 June, 1829. (It changed its name to 'The Gownsman' the following term.) According to the OED the word 'snob' was first used in late eighteenth century Cambridge as a derogatory term for a shoemaker, and was extended to include all townsmen. In his 'Book of Snobs' (serialised 1846-7) Thackeray employs the term in its modern sense.
