For decades, the Earl’s Court Motor Show was the annual pilgrimage for car dreamers and buyers. Millions jostled to see the latest models, gadgets, showgirls, celebrities, and with any luck grab armfuls of brochures. The Earl’s Court exhibition center is scheduled for demolition, but the love of the show still remains, and the Goodwood Revival, for instance, still has its own Earls Court Motor Show recreation every year. Now the excitement of the show returns with this colorful history, with archive images of British, European, and American cars at their finest, landmark models for each year, heroic failures, and one offs. Russell Hayes relives the glory days of the past in this nostalgic celebration of the Earl's Court Motor Show.

The Big Book of Tiny Cars: A Century of Diminutive Automotive Oddities

The Volkswagen Golf is a motoring paradox, seemingly never really changing its look but always pushing technical development forwards, a 'classless' car which still carries a 'premium' feel about it. 
The Golf didn't invent the idea of the front-wheel-drive hatchback, but its interpretation established the template that others would follow and the benchmark by which they are still judged today.
Marking its 40th anniversary, this meticulously researched book celebrates the Golf in the fullest detail yet. Containing over 300 photographs and much original material, it is both a timely reminder of the Golf's enduring appeal and a fitting tribute to a motoring legend.
