my car books bookshelf

this last photo, is a set of books the same as a set that Vic Edelbrock started with.. and that is good enough for me. I photographed them in the display case at the Edelbrock Garage open house in 2012 http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/vics-garage-collection-of-edelbrock.html and you can even see them online as they have been added to the Google library http://www.archive.org/stream/automobileengin00unkngoog#page/n15/mode/2up 

It's amazing that this comedian worked out a new and funny way to describe car parts, the rest I am ignoring, it's something I'm not interested in... but the car parts? Genius

Hidden Warbirds, two books, in the style of the Cobra In The Barn, finding WW2 military aircraft that have been abandoned or previously undiscovered

Aviation historian Nicholas A. Veronico has been investigating and writing about aircraft wrecks for many years. His website, http://wreckchasing.com/ , is the go-to source for enthusiasts who want to know more about how to locate vintage airplane wrecks and then tell their stories. In this engaging new book, Veronico explores the romantic era of World War II Warbirds and the stories of some of its most famous wrecks, including the "Swamp Ghost" (a B-17E which crashed in New Guinea in the early days of World War II and which was only recently recovered), and "Glacier Girl" (a P-38, part of "The Lost Squadron," which crashed in a large ice sheet in Greenland in 1942). Throughout, Veronico provides a history of the aircraft, as well as the unique story behind each discovery and recovery with ample illustrations.

The Little Bastards, by Jim Lindsay (I love the name and cover photo combo!)

An American boy’s coming of age story.

It’s the 50’s and Sonny Mitchell maneuvers from bicycles to Hot rods with the friends he has collected from the blue collar side of a small town in Oregon.

A bond of camaraderie is formed between members of his club as they take on experiences of street racing, beer guzzling and humorous encounters with sex.

They manage to mix the love of independence and rebellion with school and part time jobs as they learn life lessons along the way.

An encounter with Marylyn Swanson, a beauty, way out of Sonny’s social boundary changes his life.

Sonny tries to save his first love from a looming disaster in a white knuckle car chase. .
