by Pete Lyons

Aston Martin, coupés & cabriolets depuis 1948
by Jacques-Louis Bertin & Arnald Millereau
“Power, Beauty and Soul” is Aston’s slogan and this book, beginning with the cars of the David Brown era, shows why this isn’t idle talk.
Blower Bentley: Bentley 4½ Litre Supercharged
by Michael Hay
If there is such a thing as a “definitive” history of this model, this book is it. As a racecar the Blower did not set the world on fire but it was important for any number of reasons.
Formula One at Watkins Glen: 20 Years of the United States Grand Prix, 1961–1980
by Michael Argetsinger

Sports Car Racing in the South: Texas to Florida, 1957–1958
by Willem Oosthoek

Aston Martin: Power, Beauty and Soul
by David Dowsey
Unlike the mostly premium-priced Aston Martin cars, this refreshingly cheap Aston Martin book leaves the buyer with the distinct satisfaction of having received great value for money (unless you must have the 2007 first edition which will set you back a pretty penny). And like the cars, this book is upscale, in presentation as much as in content.

by Heinz Prüller
In the Clermont-Ferrand paddock during the French GP meeting of July 1970, Jochen Rindt sat with his fellow-Austrian, journalist Heinz Prüller, in the Firestone caravan.

Tales from the Toolbox: A Collection of Behind-the-Scenes Tales from Grand Prix Mechanics
by Michael Oliver
A professional motorsports writer, Oliver has great affinity for his subject, as befits someone who was only weeks old when he was taken along to F1 races, and he likes to say that he learned his numbers by looking at the roundels on the side of race cars.
The Car Design Book
by Gautam Sen
It’s not an easy task to sum up in 140 pages the best designs of all times regardless of price and trends! Sen tackled this exercise with total subjectivity and his position as editor of India’s best-selling Auto India magazine certainly didn’t make it easier: the more you know about a subject, the harder it is to make a selection!
