Pre-1940 Triumph Motor Cars from Family Photograph Albums
by Graham Shipman
Wouldn’t you know, there’s a car club just for these models! Clubs have members, members have photos—and here’s a series of photo books, written by someone who has heard the stories since he was a young boy.
Discovering Lost Automobiles And Their Stories
by Michael Ware
For the writer of this book, a barn find is about a different kind of treasure: not the physical car itself but the story behind it which he turns into monthly columns in British magazines.
HOT ROD Magazine: 75 Years
by Drew Hardin
Aside from, obviously, the hot rod/drag racing/muscle car theme HRM is noteworthy as a cultural phenomenon. Its success became the template for a host of other niche magazines that would build a veritable publishing empire.
Porsche 356 75th Anniversary
by Gordon Maltby
It took a while to get noticed by the masses but from its start in 1948 this Porsche combined attributes that would set it apart from others and make it a lasting success and the cornerstone of a company philosophy.
90 Years of Nürburgring
by Hartmut Lehbrink
Mountains, valleys, forest, light, shade, blind corners and dips, the sheer length of a lap—there’s a reason the place has a reputation! Lehbrink has watched it for decades and, however subjective the selection offered here is, he’s a good guide.
The Racers: The Personal Scrapbook of Al Satterwhite
by Al Satterwhite
A scrapbook is not a museum show or a historical treatise so calibrate your expectations accordingly. Neither the era nor the photographer need any explanation/justification: expect to discover cool things.
Steve Magnante’s 1001 Corvette Facts
by Steve Magnante
On the lighter but by no means lightweight side of the large body of Corvette literature, this book will entertain and educate for a long while. Written by someone who is a sponge around all things automotive!
My Porsche Book: Die 356-Ikonen / The Iconic 356s
by René Staud
It’s the photographer as much as the car that is the attraction here, not least because Staud’s career path, philosophy on art/commerce, and his studio and team are covered.
Porsche Unseen: Design Studies
by Jan Karl Baedeker & Stefan Bogner
You’d have to be quite the Porsche geek to have known, let alone seen, any of the cars shown here. There are many more where these came from and one can only speculate why Porsche allowed these 15 to be made public.
Boost! Roger Bailey’s Extraordinary Motor Racing Career
by Gordon Kirby
Bailey’s professional life spanned more than five decades and included such a variety of positions—mechanic, team boss, official, administrator—that you think you’re dealing with more than one person. No wonder his nickname was Boost!
Herbert Müller – “…alles zu langsam!”
by Födisch and Roßbach
If you followed racing in the hairy 1960–80 era you could not have failed to notice this Swiss driver. This biography is deep in the best sense. The reason it was written is to commemorate the saddest of occasions.
The Devil’s Mercedes: The Bizarre and Disturbing Adventures of Hitler’s Limousine in America
by Robert Klara
Leave it to a librarian to find answers to difficult questions. A Big Mercedes of the 1930s is plenty rare any old day but the one that stars in this book, war booty as others of its kind, suffered a case of mistaken identity for decades.
