his year we’ve produced a slimmer catalog focused
on our latest titles and special editions, as well as
suggestions from our backlist and a preview of upcoming
projects.
Our newest book, Museo Ducati (page 6) means a
great deal to me. As a longtime Ducati owner, I was
thrilled to have the opportunity to take readers inside the
Italian motorcycle maker’s official museum in Bologna,
Italy. The week I spent there with photographer Peter
Harholdt, author Chris Jonnum, and curator Livio Lodi
was remarkable, and each time I look at Museo Ducati it
brings back fond memories. I’m really pleased with the

way the book captures the essence of this unique shrine
to racing histor y.
Two new Publisher’s Editions (pages 4-5) feature autographs from some of the greatest names in motorsports.
The Publisher’s Edition of Formula One at Watkins Glen
is signed by four world champions: Jack Brabham, John
Surtees, Jackie Stewart, and Mario Andretti. And the
Publisher’s Edition of Can-Am Cars in Detail includes an
extraordinary roster of designers and drivers.
Another limited edition item is Günther Raupp’s 2013
Ferrari Myth (page 8). Each year just 5,000 of these
ultra-high quality calendars are issued, and I’m proud
to be their exclusive American distributor. And for F1
fans, Raupp also has the official 2013 Scuderia Ferrari
calendar (page 9).
Finally, I’m pleased to offer Hartmut Lehbrink’s Fangio
& Mercedes-Benz (page 7). First published in Germany to
mark Fangio’s 100th anniversary, it’s a unique look at a
uniquely effective partnership.

hen Ducati opened its official museum in 1998 the goal was
to celebrate the racing heritage and competitive spirit that has
driven the Italian motorcycle company for more than half a century. But
the Ducati museum is much more than just a collection of historic racing
motorcycles—it is also a state-of-the art facility designed to present each
bike for maximum effect, as well as a spiritual home for the thousands of
dedicated Ducati fans who visit each year.
In Museo Ducati, author Chris Jonnum and photographer Peter
Harholdt go inside the museum to profile 25 of the greatest
motorcycles on display there. The tour begins with a 1947 Cucciolo
motorized bicycle and concludes with the 2010 Desmosedici GP10
ridden by 2006 MotoGP champion Nicky Hayden. Other highlights
include a 900 Super Spor t prepared for Mike Hailwood’s legendar y
1978 win at the Isle of Man TT and the 1990 851 that Raymond Roche
rode to Ducati’s first World Superbike championship. The motorcycles
seen here are authentic racing veterans, often rolled straight from the
podium to the exhibit.
The bikes are shown in stunning detail through photographs taken
inside the museum in a specially designed mobile studio. Harholdt’s
carefully composed images capture each model’s overall design as
well as uncovering details of engines, frames, suspensions and other
components. And the detailed text by Ducati insider Chris Jonnum
explains each bike’s contribution to Ducati’s long and varied record of
racing success.

ore than a century after his birth, JuanManuel Fangio remains one of the most
revered names in motorsports. Between 1951
and 1957, Fangio won an astounding five World
Championships—more than any other Formula
One driver until Michael Schumacher captured his
sixth title in 2003.
Fangio raced and won for Alfa Romeo,
Maserati, and Ferrari, but many consider his brief
stint with Mercedes-Benz in 1954-55 the high
point of his career.
In Fangio & Mercedes-Benz: Alliance of the
Best, Hartmut Lehbrink offers a fresh perspective
on the life of a legend and his unique partnership with the great German marque. Originally
published in Germany to commemorate Fangio’s
centennial in 2011, this beautifully produced
book includes recollections of Fangio from his
friends, family, and such fellow drivers as Tony
Brooks, Hans Herrmann, Stirling Moss, and Jackie
Stewart. The revealing and informative text is presented in German and English, and is illustrated
with a wealth of previously unpublished photographs from the Daimler archives.
The book also includes chapters on Fangio’s
early years in Argentina, his first forays into Formula
One, and his post-Mercedes career and retirement.
There’s also an extended interview conducted with
Fangio in 1982, and an intriguing analysis of his
record compared to those of later F1 champions.
This book captures well the spirit of the man and should make a
welcome addition to any enthusiast’s library. —Vintage Racecar

n the 1950s and 1960s English
constructor Elva built cars that were
deceptively simple and surprisingly
competitive. In Elva: The Cars, The
People, The History, János Wimpffen
provides the first complete account
of Elva’s evolution from a homegrown
builder of Specials to a major player
on the sports-car scene. Elva also tells
the story of the people who created
the cars—starting with founder Frank
Nichols—as well as those who drove
them. In Britain, Elva drivers included
established names like Archie Scott
Brown and Stuart Lewis-Evans, while in
the U.S. Mark Donohue scored some
of his earliest wins in Elva Courier and
Formula Jr. cars. And Elva also helped
Bruce McLaren launch a racing dynasty
by building the first McLaren-Elvas.

or two decades, the small town of
Watkins Glen, New York stood as
one of the premier venues for Formula
One racing. Michael Argetsinger, whose
father Cameron first brought racing to
the Glen, recalls that era in Formula
One at Watkins Glen: 20 Years of the
United States Grand Prix, 1961-1980.
His year-by-year account star ts
with the Formula Libre races of
the late 1950s that set the stage
for the first grand prix in 1961. In
the coming years such legendar y
champions as Jim Clark, Graham
Hill, Jackie Stewar t, and Niki Lauda
would all log multiple victories at the
circuit, which was loved for its unique
setting, top-flight organization, and
lucrative prize money. Argetsinger
also explains how the circuit changed
over the years and the factors that
ultimately led to its demise.
The book has coffee-table dimensions,

photographs of classic Porsches in
action, the book comes with three
CDs of sounds and music. The first

of 30 historic cars, from the No. 1
356 Roadster through the 2009
Panamera Turbo, with each recording
linked to images and descriptions in
the text. The other two CDs set the
mood through music: one features
11 tracks of high-powered rock,
while the other offers more soothing
classical compositions.
Dieter Landenberger, head of
Porsche’s archives and director of
the Porsche Museum, highlights the
company’s histor y and motorspor ts
successes. Presented in German
and English, the text includes
chapters on major models such as

cars introduced from the 1970s
through the present day.
Beautiful graphics, high-quality paper,

Looking Ahead—New Books For The New Year
W
e’re working on several new titles for 2013. Two involve Tyler Alexander, who joined Bruce McLaren as a mechanic
in 1963, and soon became an essential element in the team’s early success. After leaving McLaren in the early
1980s, Tyler returned to work for new owner Ron Dennis in 1990, remaining with the team until 2009. Our first book
with Tyler collects the remarkable photographs he’s taken during his long career in racing. We also plan to publish Tyler’s
autobiography, which will tell the full story of his life and career at McLaren as well as with other teams.
We’re also working on a photographic history of the Trans-Am by Daniel Lipetz. The book covers the original series
between 1966 and 1973, when the top American manufacturers and drivers battled for supremacy in such classic cars
as the Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, and AMC Javelin. Between the hundreds of original photos and technically informed
text, the book reveals a classic series in a new light. Finally, for motorcycle fans we’ll be offering a new volume on riding
techniques written by Andrew Trevitt and three-time Superbike World Champion Troy Bayliss.
