Complete Bike Book

if you know nothing about bikes and you are looking for a simple book which have some decent information about bikes here is the one .. but if you are professional rider i think this book is very basic for you.

This is one of those flashy books full of bright color photos on every page. The subject matter is divided into about 100 topics. Each is covered in a two-page spread, no more, no less. (All the news that fits, we print.) Surprisingly, the rigid structure works. The author has brief, quality content on each topic. He addresses selection among the different types of bicycles, basic techniques for off-road and on, health and fitness issues, racing skills, maintainance, et al. If you are looking for breadth, not depth, this is a good introductory/intermediate level book.
