Bugatti taucht auf
by Dea Loher
This very serious German novel is based on two real-life events: [1] a senseless murder in a town near [2] the lake on whose bottom a Bugatti is waiting for someone with enough of a reason to attempt raising it.
Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 / 1967
by Patrick Dasse & Martin Übelher
An important race car—whose recorded history was heretofore afflicted by a dearth of reliable data such as chassis numbers or even driver names, making the identification of historic photos so difficult that previous authors were severely handicapped.
Alfa Romeo Junior Z
by Patrick Dasse
The “Z” stands for Zagato so that alone should widen the book’s appeal beyond those Alfisti who want to bone up on a low-production, lightweight, distinctively styled 1970s car. Besides, where did the modern Honda CRX get its inspiration from?
British Private Aircraft
by Arthur W.J.G. Ord-Hume
This book and its sister volume may look unassuming but they are nothing of the sort. They are also so well written that anyone with an ear for language will find them enriching.
Tupolev TU-22/TU-22M
by Yefim Gordon & Sergey Komissarov
Similar names, different aircraft. One was the first Soviet supersonic nuclear-capable bomber but failed to live up to expectations, the other a completely reconfigured improvement. This book needs no improvement.
Ferrari 333 SP, A Pictorial History 1993–2003
by Terry O’Neil
The most successful Ferrari ever run in Prototype racing was only ever campaigned by privateers. And only 40 were built. Of which only 27 raced. Why are there no serious books about this?? Well, now there is.
Louis Coatalen
by Oliver Standerwick Heal
A portrait of charm and wit, and an “eye on the prize” sort of determination that could be quite ruthless. You may not know the name but you use stuff that has his fingerprints on it even if you don’t realize it. Someone spent twenty years writing this book—read it!
Neo Classics: From Factory to Legendary in 0 Seconds
by René Staud & Jürgen Lewandowski
If it doesn’t look as if there will be a Bugatti or McLaren or Pagani under the Christmas tree—ask for this book as a consolation price. Its cover is so glam it doesn’t even need wrapping paper!
BMW Motorcycles of the Century
by Claudio Somazzi & Massimo Bonsignori
Market values, maintenance, model specifics, what makes one bike more collectible than another—it’s all here. If you don’t already have a BMW you’ll probably want one after reading this book!
Taming the Skies: A Celebration of Canadian Flight
by Peter Pigott
Fifty of the most significant aircraft in the history of Canadian aviation are discussed in good detail and with lively writing.
Vought F-8 Crusader: Development of the Navy’s First Supersonic Jet Fighter
by William D. Spidle
The Navy’s first fully operational supersonic aircraft would become the most successful military aircraft ever built. This book covers its design and development as well as the early stages of its operational history.
First Principles: The Official Biography of Keith Duckworth OBE
by Norman Burr
He was behind the most successful engines in racing history, and his company, Cosworth, became a major player. He had the complex personality that seems inseparable from such overachievement, and this book, at last, tells the story.
