Falk, one of Germany`s leading publishers of street plans, produce their town plans in two different formats. Falk Extra plans are folded in a standard way, where the whole map can be opened to view the entire area it covers. For larger cities, the same mapping is also published with a special folding system designed to show only a small section of the map at one time. The whole map can be opened but it will be cut in several places. Many find these street plans very user-friendly & easier to handle than conventional maps. The plans, which cover towns with their outer suburbs, indicate main landmarks & public buildings & show all the public transport facilities, one way streets & car parks. Plans of lager cities include a separate map of the town centre at a more detailed scale & a diagram of the underground & the suburban rail network. The plans also show the postal divisions & have an extensive street index which, where appropriate, shows individual postal codes for each street. Map legend

This book is the Phenomenal Sunday Times No 1 Bestseller. ` It was the start of the third lap of the 2010 Senior TT, the last race of the fortnight. The last chance to get a TT win for another year, & I was pushing hard. Ballagarey. The kind of corner that makes me continue road racing. A proper man`s corner. You go through the right-hander at something like 170mph, leant right over, eyes fixed as far down the road as I can see. But this time something happened. This time the front end tucked.. .` Guy Martin, international road-racing legend, maverick star of the Isle of Man TT, truck mechanic & TV presenter, lives on the edge, addicted to speed, thoroughly exhilarated by danger. In this book we`ll get inside his head as he stares death in the face, & risks his life in search of the next high. We`ll discover what it feels like to survive a 170mph fireball at the TT in 2010, & come back to do it all again. He`ll sweep us up in a gritty sort of glory as he slogs it out for a place on the podium, but we`ll also see him struggle with the flip side of fame. We`ll meet his friends & foes, his family, his team mates & bosses & we`ll discover what motivates him, & where his strengths & weaknesses lie. For the first time, here is the full story in Guy`s own words. From the boy who learned to prep bikes with his dad, to the spirited team mechanic, paying his way by collecting beer glasses in pubs, to the young racer at the start of his first race & the buzz he`s been chasing ever since. This thrilling autobiography is an intense & dramatic ride. ...

` The maddest 12 months of my life. The journey starts with an oddball race up an American mountain & ends with me checking myself out of hospital with a broken back. Again...` As Guy Martin`s grandfather Voldemars frequently reminded him, ` When you dead, you dead.` So, before it`s all over, Guy Martin is making the most of the time he`s got. In this past year alone, Guy has raced the Isle of Man TT & finished on the podium; bike trekked through India; competed in solo 24-hour bicycles races; flown a stunt plane; broken a go-kart speed record down a French mountain & dusted himself off after a dramatic crash at the Dunrod 150 Superbike race. & he`s done all this around his day job as a truck mechanic. But let Guy tell you about it himself: ” This book starts in a Transit, ends in a Transit, & in between I`ve raced a few pushbikes, raced a few motorbikes & got a fair few stories to tell you.” (Spot on). ...
