The Private Library

by Reid Byers

An indulgence for some and a necessity for others, the private library—its purpose, function, and history—deserve deep thought. Oddly, little of substance has been written about it. After this book, no one else needs to bother trying.

A Complete History of U.S. Combat Aircraft Fly-Off Competitions

by Erik Simonsen

How do military aircraft make the cut to be selected for active duty? And the ones that didn’t, what would they have looked like if they had made it into service? On the latter score, this book is a winner.

Recreational Vehicles, A World History 1872–1939

by Andrew Woodmansey

by Antonio Ghini

If the Almighty Interweb is any indicator, Lamborghini has way more followers than you could possibly expect. But why? This book is not concerned with finding answers to that, it just presents a solid and well put-together primer.

The Singer Story: The Cars, Commercial Vehicles, Bicycles & Motorcycles

The Complete Catalogue of British Cars 1895–1975

Lime Rock Park: The Early Years 1955–1975

by Terry O’Neil 

One of America’s oldest continuously operated road courses, Lime Rock has seen more strife and discord in the local community and in its own ranks, and legal wranglings and financial crises to shut it down a dozen times over.
