The Scooter Bible: The Ultimate History and Encyclopedia
by Eric Dregni
“Scooters are funny” says the author. So is this book, written by a card-carrying academic. The period ads alone are a hoot. If you never had a scooter, well, they never go out of style and especially today electric models are the thing to have.
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.
Vintage Campers, Trailers & Teardrops
by Patrick R. Foster
Can’t tell a tin can from a canned ham? Just what is a fifth-wheel? More importantly, is camping fun?? This fun book tells you all that and more.
The Tom Mix Cord: Saga of a Western Film Star’s Classic Motorcar
by Bob M. White

Queen of the Skies: The Lockheed Constellation
by Claude G. Luisada
Even almost a decade after its publication, this book still matters—and it comes with a Lockheed Manual on CD that you’d rarely find even at auction.
OAL-BB 50
by Paolo Tumminelli (editor)
Having been closely associated for half a century, Alpina and BMW are almost synonymous. This book is a lighthearted but entirely substantive look at what really puts the “ultimate” into The Ultimate Driving Machine.
Lockheed Constellation: A History
by Graham M. Simons
The dolphin-shaped fuselage looked like no other. The triple tail made it instantly recognizable. It remained useful decades after jet airliners pushed it out of mainline service. There should be piles of books about it—but there aren’t. This is a good one.
Formula 1: All The Races – The First 1000
by Roger Smith
That this book about 1000 races is limited to 1000 numbered copies is of course merely to be cute—but it is a crying shame. Bristling with data but eminently user-friendly it deserves much wider circulation!
Abarth: Racing Cars – Collection 1949–1974
by Franz Steinbacher
This is a look at a highly curated Swiss collection of mostly racing Abarths, and in telling their story the book also gives a good idea of what made the cars and the company so special.
