Windswept and abandoned, the derelict buildings and crumbling tarmac are all that remain of once grand motor racing circuits. From the great speed bowls of Monza and Brooklands, to the parkland of Crystal Palace; all are photographed as they are now, but remembered in their prime.

Featuring a comprehensive examination of Art Deco styling elements, and a beautifully illustrated portrayal of British streamlined production cars, this is a unique account of a radical era in automotive design.

If ever there was a car that exuded style it was the Armstrong Siddeley. From the leviathans of the 1920s to the Art Deco-inspired cars of the thirties, and the restrained post modernism of the 1950s, this is the turbulent story of a great British marque.

The Ducati Monster Bible– Ian Falloon

When Ducati unleashed Galluzzi’s Monster at the Cologne Show at the end of 1992, few expected it to become Ducati’s most successful model. Dramatically styled, minimalist in stature, yet bristling with innovative engineering, the 900 Monster created a new niche market. Here is the ultimate guide to the Monster maze from 1993 to 2011.

The first book to provide an authoritative description of the complete range of Ducati OHC singles – the engines that provided the DNA for Ducati motorcycles, and established Ducati’s current reputation for exceptional sporting motorcycles.

Welcome to the Veloce Publishing Autumn/Fall 2015 catalogueThis season, our catalogue is full to bursting with some amazing new print books, such as First Principles, the Keith Duckworth biography, The Motor Enthusiast’s Guide to France, and Dorset from the Sea, full of breath-taking images of England’s south coast.

Our digital team has also been working hard to expand our eBook collection, which means many of our previously out of print classics are available once again in digital form.

So, take a look through the catalogue and see what great things we’ve got in store for the rest of 2015!
