When Wedge had the Edge
by Gautam Sen
Not every car design that is pointy on one end and thick on the other qualifies as a wedge. If this is news to you, or if you thought wedge styling had its moment half a century ago and was then relegated to the margins of history, read this book.
Alfa Romeo SZ Coda Tronca: The Art of Conservation
by Corrado Lopresto, Gautam Sen, Paolo Di Taranto
Important car, important collector, important decisions how/if to preserve or restore it.
Lamborghini, l’alchimie du style et de la performance
by Gautam Sen
Learn French—and save $200! Well, kinda. This is an abridged French version of the magisterial Dalton Watson opus in English. Covers almost all the same things but in less detail and fewer images. Still, a solid book!
Bugatti: The Italian Decade
by Gautam Sen
An Italian Bugatti? No matter its inglorious end it was a fine, capable car quite unlike anything else. Big names were involved. Big money was spent—on building it and on buying it.
Lamborghini: Where Why Who When What
by Antonio Ghini
If the Almighty Interweb is any indicator, Lamborghini has way more followers than you could possibly expect. But why? This book is not concerned with finding answers to that, it just presents a solid and well put-together primer.
Lamborghini: At the Cutting Edge of Design
by Sen, Radovinovic, Byberg
Chicken/egg. Performance/design. The question is not which came first or which matters more—they are part of a package. Think of Lamborghini what you will, but these books prove there is purpose and depth to their outrageous package.
Fit For A King, The Royal Garage of the Shahs of Iran
by Borzou Sepasi
It’s the last of Iran’s Shahs, the one whose reign triggered the revolution that put the country on an entirely different trajectory, whom most people associate with cars but it all started several rulers before him, and all of that is on parade in this impressive book.
Tom Tjaarda: Master of Proportions
by Gautam Sen
From Ferraris to furniture and tires to typewriters, Tjaarda left a mark, a big mark, and it takes a big book to tell it all. Tjaarda was very keen to have this author write that book, but he didn’t live to see it finished.
Alfa Romeo Montreal
by Patrick Dasse
If the Montreal is famous for anything it is the company it keeps in its designer’s portfolio. Gandini penned designs as different as the immortal Miura and Countach, and closer to this car the Marzal and Carabo concepts. This book presents period photos.
Ballot
by Daniel Cabart and Gautam Sen
The fastest cars in the world right when they came out (1919). Innovative. Good-looking. Other makers were inspired by them. Today: obscure. Now this monumental 920-page book is a most proper 100th anniversary present.
The Royal Udaipur RR GLK21
by Anu Vikram Singh, Narayan Rupani, Gautam Sen
From scrap heap to the Pebble Beach Concours, a little Rolls-Royce goes on a big journey.
Classics on the Street: An Automotive Odyssey, France 1953
by Robert Straub
A moment in time. And what a moment, in automotive terms. Postwar Europe was still populated with prewar iron—and much of it was irretrievably gone a mere ten years later.
