Hot Rod World of Robert Williams - Yes, it’s weird,
but it’s also wonderful looking into a man so immersed
in roddin’ culture, and if ever you’ve thrown
a spanner around or simply looked longingly at that rat rod
passing’ by, you’re sure to get some kind of enjoyment
from this book. Along with tales from his time at Roth studios
which resulted in his famous Roth ads for Hot Rod magazine,
not to mention several infamous run-ins with the Hells Angels
Williams demythologizes the 1950s, recalls his association
with Zap Comix and R. Crumb, and reflects on today's retro
rodders and his own hot rods. Illustrated throughout with
photographs from Williams personal collection as well as paintings
and illustrations, this is a life portrait as only Robert
Williams could do it.

Formula 1: Under the Skin of the Championship-Winning F1-2000
-The pages are populated with tons of pictures, graphs, diagrams,
cutaway views of the car, CAD simulations, and telemetry charts.
While the 260 pages of material is far from shallow reading,
none of Ferrari's racing competitors would gain an edge by
reading this. But it is a great text for the layman engineer
who's an F1 fanatic, and great for the coffee table.
- Ferrari
Formula 1 -Even with all the other books on GP Ferraris
I already had, I found that this one was essential. Most of
the photos I had not seen before, and the human side of the
team is particularly well presented. A nice touch is the section
showing Ferraris at the same corner at Monaco every year over
a 22-year span.
