Amphibious cars: history, technology, classification, modifications, Ivan Mackerle
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.
Jawa 50 Pioneer – history, development, technology, sport – 2nd, expanded edition, Jiří Wohlmuth
The second edition of this unique publication supplements and clarifies some previously published facts about the history and technical parameters of this small-displacement motorcycle.

This edition contains more than half of the new, previously unpublished photographs.
Motorcycles in the Great War 1914 – 1918, Miloslav Straka
Another in a series of works by the renowned author deals with motorcycle history again, this time against the backdrop of World War I. It is published at a time when a hundred years have passed since its course, and the consequences of which fatally influenced the further development of all sectors in Europe. The book is not a historical study of the war, but has the ambition to present the role of motorcycles and the soldiers who served with them in the war. Motorcycles in the Great War performed a number of specific tasks. In addition to the very important courier service, they also served in ambulance and reconnaissance services. Armies used motorcycles on almost all battlefields, but the largest number was on the Western Front on the side of the Allies. The book introduces readers to individual variants of military machines, technical details, a detailed description of the most used models and the history of the brands represented. The publication brings a lot of interesting information not only to our regular fans of motorcycle history, but should also appeal to fans of military history and militaries in general.
Cars of the Eastern Bloc, Jan Tuček
Škoda, Tatra, Trabant, Wartburg, Polski Fiat, Dacia, Oltcit, Moskvich, Lada, Volga and other brands were an integral part of the pre-November era. Sometimes we turned our noses up at them and longed for something better. However, most of us had no choice. Today we can laugh about it, but we should not forget. Not only about that time, but also about the cars we drove back then.
Automobile and motorcycle racing in Prague and the surrounding area, Jiří Wohlmuth
The author has been around road racing tracks since he was a boy. For just as long, he has been trying to extract from eyewitnesses the preserved memories, which are often contradictory. The long-standing idea of processing the "racing" part of the region's history received its final impetus this August at the Strahov Circuit. Going through his own extensive archive, he mobilized close friends and eyewitnesses, and delved into the ČTK archive to process the materials in the evenings. The result, delivered by the publisher in record time to bookshop shelves, will delight friends, fans and eyewitnesses of car and motorcycle racing. A number of previously unpublished facts and photographs will reveal completely new information about sporting events that have always attracted many competitors and spectators. Get yourself a wonderful read for long winter evenings.
Cookbook by Eliška Junková, Klára Cincibuchová and Jaroslava Adamová
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.
Our Motorcycles Part I Austria-Hungary 1899 – 1918, Libor Marčík
The publication captures almost unknown manufacturers and brands of motorcycles that were produced in the territory of the then Austria-Hungary. The reader will discover an incredible number of motorcycle manufacturers built in the vast majority of only one or a few pieces. Rapid changes in the development of motorcycle design are evident when compared with today's two-wheeled vehicles produced in large series. The publication is important in content for all friends of motorcycle history and the present.
Tatra 805: history, tactical-technical data, modifications, Jiří Frýba
The Tatra 805 light truck was developed in the early 1950s – at a time when the whole of Europe was slowly recovering from the consequences of World War II. The first pages will acquaint readers with the then level of motorization of our army, which primarily initiated the need for a mobile 1.5-ton vehicle. In addition to the basic versions of the flatbed and box, other single-purpose superstructures were built on the existing chassis to perform specific army tasks. The comprehensive text will explain to readers what individual designations such as Šárka, Jarmila, Ezop, Mozek, Třinec and Neděle meant. The difficult-to-understand delimitations and transfers of the final assemblies of the T 805 between production plants are still evidence of „planned“ mistakes. Previously unpublished photographs, clearly arranged technical tables and drawings will remind witnesses of the „eight hundred and five“ from common army and civilian versions to unknown prototypes. The publication will help readers of younger generations understand technical possibilities in the context of the time.
