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 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.
For readers interested in the history of motoring, a book about the development, preparation and mass production of the Czech passenger car has been prepared on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Škoda 1000 MB. The first part contains a brief recapitulation of the post-war predecessors from 1946 to 1964. A number of previously unpublished photographs will present prototypes and serial "thousands". The content offers high-quality and verified information about technical parameters, interesting facts from production, the number of units produced for the domestic and foreign markets, and sporting successes.
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.
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.
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.
The author, who has already made his mark on readers' consciousness as a specialist and expert in mobile military equipment through the content of previous publications, has compiled an almost fifty-year history of tank units that formed the main striking force of the post-war Czechoslovak army. The text describes the individual phases of the development of armored vehicles in terms of design and progress, production base, organizational structure and expected use. Above all, political aspects influenced the development, production and internal army organization, but also the entire operation of the national economy, which in peacetime produced hundreds of tanks during the year at high financial costs and human resources. Statistics of domestic production with stunning numbers prove possible competition with the largest superpowers, such as the then USSR and the USA. The clear chronological form of the individual types, as well as the entire content of the new book, will refresh the memories of all who have mastered the described equipment, will delight experts, historians and expand the knowledge of fans and members of military clubs.
