A collection of approximately ten English-language books, mostly hardback and some paperback volumes, with a central theme of motorcycling.

The typography and period pricing (e.g., “2/- NET,” “3/6 NET”) suggest the books date from the mid-to-late 20th century. The collection is stored upright in a plain cardboard box. A separate item visible at the bottom of the box, possibly a promotional brochure or box lid, features the text “LODGE THE BEST PLUG IN THE WORLD.”
