by James Taylor

Polish Aviation Museum Cracow
by Jaroslaw Dobrzyński
The whole purpose of this publisher’s new series of which this book is the first, is to (a) bring the museum to people who can’t see it in person and (b) provide a reference-level documentation of a museum’s holdings. The text gives basic history and vital stats along with some commentary as to how the item came to be in the museum and, if applicable, what work was done to it here.

Convair Advanced Designs
by Robert Bradley
Loosing faith in progress? Feeling down by too much “been there/done that”? Well, prepare to be amazed and entertained by two books that look behind the curtain. Not everything here is a flight of fancy; some of these machines were totally viable but just didn’t get green-lighted.

by Robert D. Walker
Not only does this 1000-page opus represent the most rigorously researched account of all Mk I chassis, it adds into the record material from an entirely new archive—fished out of a dumpster a few years ago!
Formula 1
by Peter Nygaard
A great book by a Danish photographer who is also an ardent student of the sport. Many hundreds of photos for absurdly little money. In a hardcover book with a rounded spine—are we living in the Matrix??
Ford GT40 Anthology
by John S. Allen and Graham Endeacott
Subtitled “A Unique Compilation of Stories” the book is exactly that. Even old hands will find new bits here; in fact, they’ll have to unlearn a few. What more could one want in a book!
Ferrari Formula 1 Car by Car: Every Race Car Since 1950
by Stuart Codling
A handy and well-written quick-reference type of book that also includes many tables of race results. This is not meant to be a History of the Universe but specific to select cars.
Porsche Sport 2021
A year’s worth of racing on five continents. People and places you’ve probably not heard of. Cars you haven’t seen. A thousand photos. Race results. This yearbook has been around for 29 years now—about time we showcase one here!
