Moonshots
by Piers Bizony
Plenty of photos, yes, but this book is really more about the role of photography. Over and over it makes the point that you probably have seen these photos before, but probably not this way.
Rule Britannia, When British Sports Cars Saved a Nation
by John Nikas
No hyperbole, this. The cars may be small but the story is big. Without selling large quantities of relatively affordable cars in export markets after WWII, Great Britain would have remained broken for much longer. How they did it, and how they lost it is the story here.
The Aston Martin Book
by René Staud, Paolo Tumminelli
If it’s specs and serious history you want, this is not the book. But if a car’s shape makes you lightheaded and its “image” excites you, this is the book.
The Complete Book of the SR-71 Blackbird
by Richard H. Graham
A fantastic book about an aircraft everyone should know about, regardless of specialization or interest. You don’t know what you’ve been missing! It made history, and because there is still no substitute for it, may come back.
The Porsche Art Book
by Edwin Baaske (Editor)
Even if Porsches leave you cold and you dismiss the whole “car as art” issue as contrived, you will want to meet these artists and see how they work and think.
Gasoline and Magic
by Hilar Stadler / Martin Stollenwerk (editors)
Lovely photos, yes, lots. But they are more than that, if you are inclined to look beyond the surface and parse the authors’ intentions.
The Restoration of Antique and Classic Cars, Vol. 1
by Richard C. Wheatley & Brian Morgan
A classic in the 1960s, this practical how-to book outlines critical steps and considerations. They may not apply the same way today but the book will bring back fond memories to the legions whose copies have long worn out.
The Aircraft-Spotter’s Film and Television Companion
by Simon D. Beck
An indispensable companion when you watch a movie and wonder “What was that??” The book tells you that, and more: who flew it, who built it, where is it, was it real?
Mythical Formula One: 1966 to Present
by Marcel Correa
Color drawings of fifty racecars highlight what made each one special and allow comparisons of one car to another.
Shelby American Up Close and Behind the Scenes
by Dave Friedman
The years at Shelby’s first premises in Venice were critical and the people who worked there young and enthusiastic, Friedman among them. His photos are an insider’s look at that most American of outfits.
Steve McQueen: Le Mans in the Rearview Mirror
by Donald Nunley
A prop master on a movie sees a lot. This book is written by one, and he sure did see a lot. It seems it took him years to get over it. If you can’t decide whether you love or hate the movie, this book will at least explain why it all went so very wrong.
Zagato Milano 1919–2009, The Official Book
This book does not come right out and say what it is. Neither do the press release or the advertising copy. If you know of Nada’s other Zagato books you would assume this new one to be along the lines of those others. It isn’t.
