 Follow us:   Great Books for the Holidays: And All of Them Are on Sale |
| | | | | | MOTORBOOKS BLOG |  Riding high performance production-based motorcycles, known to enthusiasts as Superbikes, hasn't always been a competitive endeavor. However, 25 years ago the Superbike World Championship was initiated. Since then Fred Merkel, Carl Fogarty, John Kocinski and Troy Bayliss have become famous riding Ducatis, Hondas, Suzukis, and Yamahas. In the process, they created a sport.
Superbike: The Official Book is an annual publication tells the story of the year's Superbike World Championship. This year's official guide maintains its place as the go-to resource on the 2013 season.
Similar to past editions, the official book begins with a chapter about this season's champion, Tom Sykes from team Kawasaki. Each of the following 14 chapters profiles a different race from the season and includes the race's results. There are also sections on other motorcycle championships: Supersport and Superstock 1000 and 600. One of the book's highlights is the chapter on the new technology of this year's Superbikes. Every detail, from the engine to the transmission, is revealed with the help of the technicians from different teams and spectacular photography by Fabrizio Porrozzi, a longtime Superbike World Championship photographer. |
| | | Dear ASD,
Thanksgiving is just the beginning of what promises to be a very busy holiday season. And we're thankful that we have several great new books to share as you put together your holiday gift list for the gearheads in your life. |
 One of our favorite picks for our gift list this season is Strange But True Tales of Car Collecting, a recounting of the wildest car-collecting stories of all time, focusing on tales of the most eccentric and over-the-top collectors and collections. Have you heard of the fellow who squirrelled away dozens of Chevelles, Camaros, and other classic muscle cars in semi trailers? How about the president of Shakespeare fishing rods who in the 1960s sold 30 now-priceless Bugattis for a mere $85,000? The English nobleman who cut up and buried his Ferrari horde in an elaborate insurance scam? Or how about the Duesenberg abandoned in a Manhattan parking garage for decades and uncovered by Tonight Show host Jay Leno? These are just a few of the amazing stories explored in this entertaining book, which will make a great gift for any car enthusiast, who will find entertainment in these tales of collectors who've gone off the rails.
