Design Yearbook 1: The Definitive Guide to New Concept and Production Cars

Beautiful
Engines by Stan Grayson
The human stories behind the development of the internal combustion
engine are combined with full-color photographs in this coffee-table book
to present the beauty of the engines themselves. In addition to the portrait-quality
photographs, line drawings, cutaways, and clear text describe how each
engine works and its primary uses. The fascinating histories of the engineers
and inventors who built these pioneering machines-stories of fame and fortune
and tragedy and ruin-are also told. Key stationary and marine engines from
France, Germany, and the United Kingdom are shown in addition to famous
U.S. engines from such manufacturers as International Harvester and
Fairbanks-Morse. Amazon.com Hardcover - 112 pages (April 1, 2001)

Classics
on the Street : An Automotive Odyssey, France 1953 by Robert Straub
In 1953, Robert Straub set off for a year's study abroad in France.
Already interested in cars and their designs (he was later to become a
designer for General Motors) he took hundreds of snapshots of exotic (to
him) cars on the streets. By the time he returned to France a decade later,
nearly all the cars he had seen previously had disappeared due to stringent
post-WW II taxes. Bob Straub's evocative photographs of these classics
- Delahayes, Delages, Bugattis, Tatras, Hotchkiss', Rosengarts, Hispano
Suiza's to name a few - are the substance of this book along with his entertaining
and informative narrative.
