Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Its title is a play on words of Zen in the Art of Archery.

It would really enrigh this article to describe any further ways these works are related, as I know there is more than just the title. --DanielCD 20:57, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

The article claims that this book "inspired a series of other titles". I think it's more likely that it inspired one title, namely "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", which achieving far greater reknown than this one, led to the hundreds of others. I bet most writers of "Zen and the Art..."-titled books have never even heard of this one. (I am a huge fan of ZAMM but never knew about this book until now.) -- 05:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
