This book was first published in 1990 but due to its popularity, has been reprinted and republished .

Many great riders from Freddie Dixon and Stanley Woods to Geoff Duke, Mike Hailwood and Giacomo Agostini have raced at the TT. Still run over the 37 miles road course used before World War One and still a major international event, the event draws tourists in their thousands.

This book by Matthew Freudenberg, a life-long motorcycle racing enthusiast, describes the development of the TT from its inception to the 1980s, from the dusty tracks of 1907 to the circuit of the 1980s. The informative narrative is supplemented by 200 black and white photographs as well as detailed race results and statistics.

The last abbey to be dissolved by Henry VIII, the last castle to fall during the Civil War, and the site of the first holiday camp - all can be found on the Isle of Man. And the world's most famous motorbike race takes place on an Island where it is traditional to greet the faries when crossing their bridge.

The Isle of Man is an island of contrasts. It has social structure that harks back to the Island's Viking past, a history of offering a home to financial entrepreneurs and an island-wide advanced telecommunications system designed to encourage future business investment.

Centred in the Irish Sea, Mann has been drawn into the politics of the surrounding islands yet still maintains its own traditions, language and way of life. It is the long and proud history of the Manx and their Island which this beautifully colour illustrated book celebrates.

This beautifully illustrated book is a unique historical archive of Peel, its people and its ships and contains many hitherto unseen photographs and unknown facts about the City's hertiage as well as a section of articles both huumerous and sad from the Peel City Guardian of the day.This is "a slice of time" about Peel's people, names you can still encounter on any day in Peel - like ships on the tide, the names float across the ether of time!

The latter half of the nineteenth and early twentieth century saw many changes take place in Peel; the moves to attract the tourism trade, the arrival of steamships, the railway and motorised transport were to transform the City more quickly than had ever been known. On Joe Mylchreest's return from South Africa he enthusiastically set about encouraging various enterprises, one of which was the building of trading boats. This book contains the unique records of the schooner named after his wife, Phoebe, and original documents giving an insight into the commerical aspects of the town.
