List of travel Books was on the Hubb , now missing

Hi Guys,

I was looking for a list of motorcycle books which was there on th HUBB earlier. I have tried search / advanced search, Google . website specific search and all the key words that I can imagine for the past one hour but I can't seem to find that list. I am not talking about the Horizons unlimited book list but another post on the HUBB with titles and authours.

I surely remember that there was a list of Motorcycle travel books on the HUBB. A list made by contributions from various members. At that time I did not make a copy of that list with me and now I am not able to find it. Does anyone else remember of such a list / has the link to the same.
Thanks to please share the same here

Red Bull

Hi Redbull,
Yeah, I know the one you mean but a search has been fruitless!

Thanks for the clarification

Stephano,
Well , I did search but not as precisely as you did. Anway the results seem different today ;-) Ha ha ha never mind thanks for the trouble.

Grant,
On that day I was trying with Search Titles only > giving keyword as Books and I was not getting the right results. Don't know why?

You know there are times when your comuter gives you trouble , and when you call the technician , everything's perfect. I guess this is one of those times.

I wanted to add a few more books to that earlier list so I was looking for that thread.
Thanks anyway,
Red Bull

No idea :confused1: works fine for me! Came up first answer with your search.

Note that the HUBB search does NOT search the rest of the site - you need to use the top right search to search the site. The two WILL be integrated - but not yet.
