Well I didn't include the kitchen sink, but I suppose the bathtub isn't far behind in this case... ;)

Thank you. I should have looked it up myself. Your thorough reviews just got me in the habit of expecting you to tell me everything.

Heck if I know! I've always assumed it was a bike reference, since cookbooks aren't their only area.
...AHA! I checked their web site and in fact their first book offering was a bike book. So, bike reference.
"In 1971 founder Philip Wood left a senior sales post at Penguin Books to launch the company on the strength of just one title — Anybody’s Bike Book — which became the book that inspired the company’s name and went on to sell more than a million copies. Legend has it that Phil stored the stock of the original edition in his apartment bathtub in downtown Berkeley."

Is the publishing company named after the speeds on a mixer?
