From a chronological perspective, various design directions are interesting, often avant-garde, but also some less fortunate ones, which were often limited by the possibilities of workshop processing.

Detailed technical descriptions of another twenty-five structurally interesting motorcycles of often no longer existing production brands will certainly interest readers of all age groups.

Not only about that time, but also about the cars we drove back then.

Tatra 805: historie, takticko-technická data, modifikace, Jiří Frýba
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 Previously unpublished photographs, clearly arranged technical tables and drawings will remind witnesses of the „eight hundred and five“ from common army and civilian versions to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.

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.
