Bugatti: A Hundred Years of Innovations and Excellence (1909–2009)
Various authors
Not your typical Bugatti book. This one looks at the overall engineering history of the firm on the occasion of its 100th anniversary.
Bugatti: Carlo, Rembrandt, Ettore, Jean
by Amanda Dunsmore, John Payne
If all you can think of is “cars” when you hear Bugatti, you’re missing something. Furniture, sculpture, and, yes, cars—there’s a Bugatti for that. This book shows pieces that are held in public and private collections in Australia.
The Brescia Bugatti
by Bob King
The most-built Bugatti is the least-written about—until now. This book presents known survivors and their history.
Bugatti (Hawley)
by Hawley, des Cordes, Mishne
From stone masonry to automobiles this catalog of a museum show looks at the artistic output of the entire Bugatti clan across three generations.
The Art of Bugatti: Mullin Automotive Museum
by Adatto, Kruta, Japp; photos by Furman
The book title notwithstanding, this museum is not just about Bugattis or, for that matter, cars. They do feature prominently but the purpose of the museum is an overall celebration of Art Deco in its totality, from artwork to furniture and cars to lighting—all exemplified by the extended Bugatti clan.
Bugatti Queen: In Search of a French Racing Legend
by Miranda Seymour
The protagonist of this book went from 1920s nude model, ballerina, and cabaret dancer to race driver, becoming the “fastest woman in the world.”
British Sports Cars
by Richard Gunn
Any “Top Ten” list of sports cars will include examples from Great Britain. This short book is a quick but well-illustrated romp through 140 years of history.
Joseph Figoni: Le Grand Couturier de la Carrosserie Française
Vol. 1: Alfa-Romeo
by Larsen and Erickson
If coachbuilder Figoni is on your radar, you’re in luck because this is the first volume in a series that will cover the five main marques and most minors in about a dozen books. They will break your bookcase and your bank account. But what fun you’ll have!
Figoni on Delahaye
by Richard Adatto and Diana Meredith
Fluid lines, a sense of motion, brilliant metallic colors, coachwork that might take 2000 hours to complete—these are the sort of select cars showcased in this book whose release coincides with the centenary of the firm’s founding.
Allard Motor Company: The Records and Beyond
by Gavin Allard
This extensively illustrated book has more than just the obvious appeal to Allard owners: it reproduces the factory records for all the chassis built, and by this and other means connects many dots across the whole of the British motoring scene.
Ferrari F40
by Keith Bluemel
It was among the most expensive cars of its time, yet the company sold three times as many as they had forecast. It changed the way other makers looked at supercars and it also changed how Ferrari thought about its own cars. See why here.
Fast Lady, The Extraordinary Adventures of Miss Dorothy Levitt
by Michael W. Barton
“The Fastest Girl on Earth” had plenty of adventures in life but an inquest ruled her death of morphine poisoning at 40 a misadventure. What good is it to be the first British woman racing driver, the world’s first holder of a water speed record, the first woman to hold a land speed record if no one remembers?
