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 A number of previously unpublished facts and photographs will reveal completely new information about sporting events that have always attracted many competitors and spectators.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.
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.
Ace of Hearts, Miloslav Souček
With the warm words of the foreword by Prof. Pavek, which will set the reader in the right mood, the author slowly begins to unwind a continuous strip of memories. About his apprenticeship in a car repair shop and his first contacts with motorcycle handlebars, about exploring off-road motorcycle races. It is absolutely natural that Míla Souček likes to remember motorcycle sports in the colors of the army team - of course, after all, he was young, healthy and overcame random life obstacles with a smile. A separate chapter in his life, to which the author likes to return, is the period of motorcycle competitions with participation in the Six-Day Motorcycle Competition in Zlín in 1955. Between the lines, the perceptive reader can sense the devotion to motorcycles from Divišov. With ESO motocross specials of all three cubic capacities, he achieved success for our colors on tracks included in the European Championship. The last pages of the memories belong to motocross in Stříbr in 1963.
Reminisce with the author, recall the names and motocross tracks in the country and abroad.

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.

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.
