It's a children's book, and children seem to love it. When I was a boy, we only had Jobst.
Not entirely sure what this is supposed to mean. It looks like an exceedingly useful and informative book to me though.

As is Where did I come from?
I find Musson superficial and patronising, but that's probably because I'm old and I started building wheels about the same time as he did, if not earlier. If you were born in the 21st century and Musson is the first wheel building book you read, you're less likely to notice that than if you had read Jobst more than thirty years ago. Jobst is a better engineer, a better writer, and, if the works are the measure of the man, a better person.
