Jawa – The Forever Bike
by Adil Jal Darukhanawala
You may recognize Jawa as a quintessential Czech brand but it not only had an even bigger life elsewhere, it wouldn’t have survived into the present without this foreign affair.
Mahy – A Family of Cars
by Michel Mahy & David Janssens
“Family” here refers to not just clusters of cars but the actual people behind a collection that now exceeds a thousand items. And they did not play nice! You’d have to live in Belgium to see the cars, or buy this book.
Air & Water: Rare Porsches, 1956–2019
by The Saratoga Auto Museum
The name of the author is the clue that this is a book about the Steven Harris Porsches that the museum featured in two separate exhibits in 2021. Many of his cars really are rare, and while he does drive them they live in different parts of the US and even the world. This book brings some of them together.
The Ferrari Place

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Book
by René Staud & Jürgen Lewandowski
Examples from all series of SLs, almost 70 years worth, as German photographer René Staud sees them. And he’s seen many, probably 500, and photographing SLs has been one constant in his decades-long career.
Moretti—Motociclette, automobili, carrozzerie

The Soul of a Modified, Lenny Boehler’s Ole Blue

Early Kustom Kulture: Kustom Cars and Hot Rods Photographed by George Barris
by Brett Barris

Secret Fords, Volume Two
by Steve Saxty
You don’t have to be a car snob to think FoMoCo has nothing important to say or show. This book moves the needle in a big way and also offers a look into the high-stakes, unseen world of car designers and product planners.
Passion for Cars, The Unique Collection of Thierry Dehaeck
by Thierry Dehaeck & David Hawtin
Fifty cars from a Belgian collection whose owner knows what he wants and, more importantly, why. His cars have to have “a story” and that’s what this book is about.
Ed Swart – From Zandvoort to Daytona
by Ed Swart with Johnnie Tipler
Racing driver, team owner, clerk of the course, race-club founder . . . is there anything motorsports-related that Ed Swart has not done? A 200-page book seems hardly enough to cover it all.
The Private Library
by Reid Byers
An indulgence for some and a necessity for others, the private library—its purpose, function, and history—deserve deep thought. Oddly, little of substance has been written about it. After this book, no one else needs to bother trying.
