A přece se točí, Jan Králík
And yet it spins, Jan Králík

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.

Kouzlo karoserie – Václav Zapadlík
The magic of bodywork – Václav Zapadlík

Maestro Zapadlík has finally been persuaded and, with the help of friends, has created a review of his own works. In the first lines he defends the motivation for creating another pleasing work, which is still not a comprehensive review of his entire work. The Maestro stated literally: "„The publication was inspired by the response of those readers who appreciate the drawing in its often simple line. Therefore, the decision to publish the drawings that were created for a number of magazines more than twenty years ago is a kind of retrospective. In times when the reproduction of an image was difficult and often on very poor quality paper, black and white drawing was probably a good solution for illustrating sometimes even the technical details of cars and their parts.“Views of the delicate shapes of Zapadlík's car bodies can transport the reader to another world and influence aesthetic perception.

Obojživelné automobily: historie, technika, rozdělení, úpravy, Ivan Mackerle
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.
