The automobile has always belonged on the road. From the very beginning, when it came into practical use, there were also daredevils who, after modifications, tried to conquer water on their own. The publication is a guide with illustrations, but also an encyclopedia of amphibious vehicles. It maps the area of military, off-road and passenger vehicles capable of overcoming watercourses under their own power. This part of automotive history and the present has not yet been processed on the domestic book market. The content explains the theoretical foundations of vehicle movement in water, through the history of the emergence of amphibians to the technical parameters of military, off-road and passenger amphibious vehicles from the pre-war period to the present. The authors also recall remarkable amateur creations and expeditions. Recommended reading for adventurous natures, but perhaps also a non-standard topic for planning a vacation for next year.

Acceptable distances between populated places, as well as a good road network in Central Bohemia, have made it possible to write an interesting history of racing in this region. Long-distance races, hill races and city circuits began to be held here more than 110 years ago. In many towns, racing had only a fleeting existence and after the first year, no more followed (Kralupy nad Vltavou, Vlašim, Horoměřice, Roztoky u Prahy). However, there were places where racing took place for several decades (Městec Králové – 40 years; Kolín – 16 years; Mělník – 13 years). For each of the thirty-nine places, the authors found the exact race routes, information from the organizing activities and result lists with the names of competitors, both known and unknown, and spiced everything up with interesting facts from the period press. Witnesses will reminisce over the pages, and representatives of the younger generations will wonder where and on what roads the racers fought for supremacy.

Eliška Junková as we don't know her! Taste buds are properly activated by the content divided into four separate sections: appetizers, soups, main courses and desserts. Between each course there is always a double page of copies taken from the original photographs from Mrs. Eliška's family album. Color photographs of the finished dish are supplemented on each page with brief, concise instructions on how to gradually process the ingredients. A motorist doesn't just live on gasoline - and what's more, Mrs. Eliška moved among men and knew what makes a success on a plate. Thank your partner for their year-round care with a nice book under the Christmas tree.

New book from the warehouse.
The author, in his own unique way, expressed his admiration for the Sisyphean effort of all collectors and renovators of cars, buses, motorcycles or stationary engines, for their lifelong toil, which at the very end of this journey we can admire and say that our grandfathers knew how to make it, after all, that machine actually has a soul... The fates of these passionate fans and their collections are all the more interesting because after 30 years a lot has changed. Jiří Wagner accompanied the book with his photographs.

The author knew more than thirty-three years ago that the long and, above all, thorny path of development and production of the Favorit passenger car was worth carefully documenting. He had to reject the ideas of that time, he waited and waited! Developing anything new while trying to comply with the extensive tangle of many restrictions and prohibitions resulting from completely meaningless regulations was completely impossible during the years of normalization. Even though the original idea to produce a new type of passenger car within the framework of the Common Market came from the highest party positions. But the design tendencies of world car manufacturers indicated significantly different solutions from the originally intended ones. The gradual development, sometimes even illegal, was taken up by the administrative people in Mladá Boleslav. The amount of work with development and then with the preparation of production was unimaginable, but the people were enthusiastic. The most energy and time was taken up by the battles with the „windmills“ – at that time in the form of the state apparatus. When the Favorit was put into production, the leaders were melting in superlatives. Just like Ing. Andrej Barčák, then director of the PZO Motokov business group: "The Favorit was a groundbreaking project for Škoda. Škoda designed and then produced a car comparable to their European competition under significantly worse conditions. At the beginning, there were just a lot of restrictions, nothing was approved, big risks were taken, but Škoda had no reason to be ashamed of the result."„

For the exhibition POWDER and BENZÍN Troja 2000, the author prepared a catalogue with images of more than 200 commemorative plaques, often created according to the designs of prominent design figures – Španiel, Nušl, Axmann, Švec, Pištora, Pichl and others. Two criteria were decisive for the selection – that the plaque was issued in Czechoslovakia in the period before the Second World War. Motoring plaques are nowadays a narrowly specialized collecting discipline. The publication will provide information and can direct thematic creation of private collections.

Jawa Californian – motorcycles that, with some exceptions, were intended only for foreign customers, leave hardly any one-track fan indifferent. The second edition of the successful publication will reveal what preceded their creation, how they developed and what influenced the sale of motorcycles from Czechoslovak manufacturers to the North American continent since 1945.

Libor Marčík has already proven his authorial qualities in two previous works on motorcycle history and, in addition to his two recent publications, is now publishing, again at his own expense, another descriptive continuation of Czechoslovak motorcycle history. Years of painstaking work searching in the period press, in state and private archives, as well as examining entries in Latin, German or even in Hungarian-written books written in many registries are rewarded on graphically well-crafted pages. Long-forgotten manufacturers who sought ways of technical development through piece production are listed alphabetically. The carefully crafted text, supplemented by many original photographs, will delight historians and laymen alike, and in the company of the previous two works, a hint of a future complete history of motorcycle production from the times of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the Czech Republic will begin to emerge in many libraries.
