Legendary Wristwatches: From Audemars Piguet to Zenith
by Stefan Muser
A visual guide to wristwatch styles throughout the decades using watches sold at auction to tell the story. Minimal text but very nice photos.
Freestone & Webb, 1923–1958
by James Taylor
“Top Hat” and “Razor Edge” were just some of the clever ideas this coachbuilder had up their sleeve, they won gold medals nine years in a row, and were among the last five big remaining firms. But bespoke coachwork went the way of the dodo bird and it is little consolidation that F&W went out in a blaze of glory.
Streamlined: Classic Cars of the 20th Century
by Malte Jürgens, photos by Michel Zumbrunn
Based on a 2009 museum exhibit in Germany this lavishly photographed book presents 25 important exponents of the theory and practice of making cars aerodynamically efficient—a problem that is still not solved.
Shelby Cobras: CSX 2001–CSX 2125
by Robert D. Walker
Not only does this 1000-page opus represent the most rigorously researched account of all Mk I chassis, it adds into the record material from an entirely new archive—fished out of a dumpster a few years ago!
Colin Chapman: Inside the Innovator (republished)
by Karl Ludvigsen
When this important 2010 book went out of print, it left a hole. Thank goodness it’s back, in exactly the same form. History has had no reason to fundamentally change its views of the mercurial Lotus founder in the interim so the recollections and analysis gathered here remain valid.
Cars & Curves, Vol. 2
by Stefan Bogner and Ben Winter
Isn’t that a great cover photo? This book is full of them. If you own a Porsche, you must like to drive—don’t let winter stop you!
Return to Power: The Grands Prix of 1966 and 1967
by Michael Frostick
On the face of it, an interesting era in racing and an author who would pen many worthy tomes. Alas, this isn’t one of them.
911 GT2, 1995–1998
by Christoph Mäder and Jan Koum
It was the most powerful and expensive Porsche had built to that date. Only a few hundred were made. Have you ever even seen one (not counting scale models)? If you don’t hurry, you may not even ever see one of these superlative, limited-edition books!
The Golden Age of European Railways
by Brian Solomon
Whether looking at pretty pictures or thinking big thoughts about politics and economics, it won’t take any arm-twisting at all to spend hours and hours with this lavishly illustrated and nicely designed book!
GTO/64: The Story of Ferrari’s 250GTO/64
by Doug Nye
The most in-depth story of the seven Grand Tourer Berlinettas that constitute the final year of production. From evolution/design to period racing to thorough details about subsequent owners and activities. And, yes, there ARE new details and new photos!
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS
by Dale McIntosh
Among the plethora of performance Chevys of the muscle car era, the 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 was at the top of the list. And it is still a hit with collectors and restorers. The best way not to buy a dud is to first buy this book.
Bravo, Stanley!
by H. James Merrick
A thoroughly researched history of Stanley’s attempts at making a name for their cars through racing—at a time when even “experts” were sure that such speeds were unattainable or not survivable by humans.
