- TV
Sets: Fantasy Blueprints of Classic TV Homes - This book of
architectural blueprints is a loving, if obsessive, tribute to
the minutiae of televised domestic life. Author Mark Bennett's
excruciatingly detailed plans span 25 years of television history,
from Tiger's doghouse on The Brady Bunch to The Addams Family's
entire manor, including Lurch's harpsichord, Gomez's train set,
and Uncle Fester's laboratory. Also included are Laverne and
Shirley's bachelorette pad, The Jetson's space unit, and Archie
and Edith Bunker's Queens row house. Incredibly, all the plans
are drawn to be architecturally feasible; that is, one could actually
build from them. To accomplish this feat, the author often had
to imagine rooms and areas not shown on the television programs,
but only referred to, like Ward Cleaver's den or Ralph and Alice
Kramden's bedroom. Included are detailed renderings not only of
the characters' homes, but their entire towns, such as the whole
of Mayberry and a complete layout of Gilligan's Island.
- Weird
Cars: A Century Of The Worlds's Strangest Cars - Haynes has
excelled itself with Weird Cars, a celebration of eccentric cars
in all shapes and sizes — some of the most ugly, crazily
designed, and downright awkward vehicles of all time. Where else
would you find, in one book, descriptions and photographs of
automotive oddities as diverse as the Aberdonia, Gaylord Gentleman,
Purves Dynasphere, Suminoe Flying Feather, and Zil.
- American
Funeral Vehicles 1883-2003: An Illustrated History - The
most complete, in-depth book on hearses and funeral cars ever!
Beginning with horse drawn, highly ornate hearses up to today's
motorized vehicles, this book takes you through the complete history
of 20th Century hearses. Follow the overall style development
from the early carved-panel columned and draped designs, through
the limousine-styled adams Funeral Coach and side-loaders, through
the sleek designs that have led to today's hearses.
- Circus
and Carnival Trucks 1923-2000: Photo Archive - "Being
an over 30 year member of the Circus Model Builders and
known for the circus truck models I have built, this book has
a lot of picture history. I remember seeing the truck that is
on the cover when I was a child and it brings back memories. I
have never seen any of the photos in this book before and many
of the over land trucks I have seen in person. This book is a
must for all people interested in the circus or the many types
of trucks circuses used.
