It thus seems reasonable for Zinn to recommend his book on Mountain Bike Maintenance. It sounds like the OP was working on a mountain-bike. Author and publisher can react more nimbly as bicycling technology develops and changes. Each can be updated far more quickly than could a single, combined book.
Each can be updated independently of the other. They each have a title and cover-image appealing to their specific market. Do they mess with a successful book like Mountain Bike Maintenance by dropping it in favor of something new called just Bike Maintenance?ģ) No! They leave the successful book alone, and produce a new book to target the road bike market. Here's my educated guess as to how things developed:ġ) He published a book on Mountain Bike Maintenance, and it was a success.Ģ) Either he or his publisher wanted to build on that success by targeting road riders. There is also less risk in publishing smaller titles that can be revised more nimbly and quickly, and with less risk of author-burnout than a larger, one-size-fits-all tome. Regardless of content, the market might demand books aimed at specific types of bike. There are many reasons to split a topic such a bike maintenance into separate books aimed at road bikes, mountain bikes, triathlon bikes. Part of my job is to help authors design books.
