Classics on the Street: An Automotive Odyssey, France 1953

by Robert Straub

A moment in time. And what a moment, in automotive terms. Postwar Europe was still populated with prewar iron—and much of it was irretrievably gone a mere ten years later.

Shipbreak

by Claudio Cambon

A “meditation” in words and images on matters far greater than the scrapping of a ship with all its human and environmental hardship. It is enriching, articulate, has a point of view, and is beautifully photographed.

Goodwood: Revival, Members’ Meeting, Festival of Speed

by Knut Gielen

Any of the three Goodwood events are pretty much bucket list items. If you’ve never been, this book is a splendid way to see what it’s all about. If you have, ditto, because you couldn’t possibly have seen everything there is to see

Velocity: Heroes of American Auto Racing

by Hartmut Lehbrink

The silver Mercedes racers won the gold in 2014, the first time the works team won F1 top honors ever. The team won a whole bunch of other awards too so there was much to celebrate, and this is the official M-B “party book”—in more ways than one.

by Leffingwell, Ingram, Furman

Yes, it’s about a Porsche collection but also a lot, lot more: how to collect, what to collect, how to buy and sell and display.

And then there’s the extreme photography of the sainted Furman.

by Stefan Bogner & Thomas Jäger

You’ve probably heard of the northern loop of this fabled German racetrack but you probably don’t know every one of its 73 corners and everything between them. Here you’ll see it all, in 100-yard increments. Start your engine!

Road Atlas

by Beate Kemfert, Christina Leber

It only sounds simple. Not that everything has to be complicated—but pretty much any human endeavor is, if you take the time to ruminate. If a photo is worth 1000 words, you’ll have to supply the words yourself here.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars

by Koto Bolofo

Hmmm, what is this book about? Cars, yes, but mainly it’s a study in photos and of photos. You surely recognize the name of the photographer!

The Classic Cars Book

by René Staud

Imagine you’re being invited to a car collection to see 31 models up close and personal. Pretty much on your own, with only those little placards by the cars to guide you. That’s this book!
