An American Sketch | David Tymm

A truly special book, one you’ll return to again and again.

This book is far more than a motorcycle road trip, it’s a beautifully crafted journey through the soul of North America. There is breathtaking photography with thoughtful storytelling, capturing not just landscapes, but the feeling of each place. Every page feels intentional, reflective, and deeply human.
The images are stunning, cinematic, and immersive, while the narrative carries a quiet honesty that pulls you in and makes you want to slow down and truly experience the ride alongside the author. You don’t need to be a motorcyclist to appreciate this book; it’s for anyone who loves travel, freedom, exploration, and the stories hidden between the miles.
The production quality is exceptional, making it as much a coffee-table masterpiece as it is a personal travel memoir. It’s inspiring, grounding, and leaves you with a renewed sense of curiosity for the world.
A truly special book, one you’ll return to again and again.
Highly recommended

An American Triumph

Many people will have the desire to undertake an epic journey, few will actually have the means, opportunity and bravery to actually turn it into reality. Even fewer will be able to write about it with such style. The introduction lets the reader know what a logistical challenge a 4-month motorcycle journey, on a bike from UK, will be around the USA. And then we are in to journey from state to state criss-crossing the entire country with a brief foray or two into Canada.
So is this a 'self-help' manual for your own journey? No.
It must be a guide to America's greatest sights then? No.
In that case it must be a tale of motorcycling with limited appeal. Absolutely not.
The author's strange mix of staying in budget hotels whilst dining in the best restaurants is fascinating as are the anecdotes from the people he met on his travels.
The photography is great, enhanced by the QR links to more at the end of each chapter.
My favourite pieces are those about the challenges with the weather and the motorcycle.
A thoroughly enjoyable read.

A Captivating and beautifully written travelogue.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this captivating and evocative gastronomical travelogue. The writing is elegant, engaging, and wonderfully easy to immerse yourself in, carrying you effortlessly from one culinary destination to the next.
The author’s blend of humour, insight, and vivid description brings both people and places to life, creating a narrative that is as informative as it is enjoyable. Their detailed accounts of the journey’s dishes, landscapes, and encounters make this book both inspiring and deeply satisfying to read.
This is a work that will ignite any reader’s appetite for travel and gastronomy, offering a warm and affectionate portrait of a much-loved country and its rich food culture. The accompanying photographs are excellent and add real depth to the overall experience.
Highly recommended.

Perfect coffee table book with engaging narrative and beautiful photographs.

Widely appealing and compelling travelogue taking us on an immersive journey across North America. Witty and well written with wonderful anecdotes of encounters with diverse locals encountered along the way. Places visited come alive with cultural and historic details as well as vibrant culinary and bar hopping experiences. The photographs accompanying the narrative are excellent. A definite plus to this book are the QR codes at the end of each chapter which take the reader to multiple additional photographs. A great book to dip in and out of and is highly recommended!
