David Bull Publishing / 2013 Page 6 Page 8 — museo ducati — ferrari myth calendar T his year we’ve produced a slimmer catalog focused on our latest titles and special editions, as well as suggestions from our backlist and a preview of upcoming projects. Our newest book, Museo Ducati (page 6) means a great deal to me. As a longtime Ducati owner, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to take readers inside the Italian motorcycle maker’s official museum in Bologna, Italy. The week I spent there with photographer Peter Harholdt, author Chris Jonnum, and curator Livio Lodi was remarkable, and each time I look at Museo Ducati it brings back fond memories. I’m really pleased with the The Museo Ducati team on-site in Bologna. From left to right: author Chris Jonnum, publisher David Bull, photographer Peter Harholdt, and assistant Donna Tribby. In back, leaning on the seat of Mike Hailwood’s 900 Super Sport, is curator Livio Lodi. 2 Page 7 Page 9 — FANGIO & MERCEDES-BENZ — scuderia Ferrari CALENDAR way the book captures the essence of this unique shrine to racing histor y. Two new Publisher’s Editions (pages 4-5) feature autographs from some of the greatest names in motorsports. The Publisher’s Edition of Formula One at Watkins Glen is signed by four world champions: Jack Brabham, John Surtees, Jackie Stewart, and Mario Andretti. And the Publisher’s Edition of Can-Am Cars in Detail includes an extraordinary roster of designers and drivers. Another limited edition item is Günther Raupp’s 2013 Ferrari Myth (page 8). Each year just 5,000 of these ultra-high quality calendars are issued, and I’m proud to be their exclusive American distributor. And for F1 fans, Raupp also has the official 2013 Scuderia Ferrari calendar (page 9). Finally, I’m pleased to offer Hartmut Lehbrink’s Fangio & Mercedes-Benz (page 7). First published in Germany to mark Fangio’s 100th anniversary, it’s a unique look at a uniquely effective partnership.

But the Ducati museum is much more than just a collection of historic racing motorcycles—it is also a state-of-the art facility designed to present each bike for maximum effect, as well as a spiritual home for the thousands of dedicated Ducati fans who visit each year. In Museo Ducati, author Chris Jonnum and photographer Peter Harholdt go inside the museum to profile 25 of the greatest motorcycles on display there. The tour begins with a 1947 Cucciolo motorized bicycle and concludes with the 2010 Desmosedici GP10 ridden by 2006 MotoGP champion Nicky Hayden. Other highlights include a 900 Super Spor t prepared for Mike Hailwood’s legendar y 1978 win at the Isle of Man TT and the 1990 851 that Raymond Roche rode to Ducati’s first World Superbike championship. The motorcycles seen here are authentic racing veterans, often rolled straight from the podium to the exhibit. The bikes are shown in stunning detail through photographs taken inside the museum in a specially designed mobile studio. Harholdt’s carefully composed images capture each model’s overall design as well as uncovering details of engines, frames, suspensions and other components. And the detailed text by Ducati insider Chris Jonnum explains each bike’s contribution to Ducati’s long and varied record of racing success. Fangio & Mercedes-Benz Alliance of the Best Hartmut Lehbrink Hardcover, 10” x 10”, 192 pages, 14 illustrations, 171 black-and-white and color photographs ISBN-13: 978-3-868525-51-9 $59.95 M ore than a century after his birth, JuanManuel Fangio remains one of the most revered names in motorsports. Between 1951 and 1957, Fangio won an astounding five World Championships—more than any other Formula One driver until Michael Schumacher captured his sixth title in 2003. Fangio raced and won for Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Ferrari, but many consider his brief stint with Mercedes-Benz in 1954-55 the high point of his career. In Fangio & Mercedes-Benz: Alliance of the Best, Hartmut Lehbrink offers a fresh perspective on the life of a legend and his unique partnership with the great German marque. Originally published in Germany to commemorate Fangio’s centennial in 2011, this beautifully produced book includes recollections of Fangio from his friends, family, and such fellow drivers as Tony Brooks, Hans Herrmann, Stirling Moss, and Jackie Stewart. The revealing and informative text is presented in German and English, and is illustrated with a wealth of previously unpublished photographs from the Daimler archives. The book also includes chapters on Fangio’s early years in Argentina, his first forays into Formula One, and his post-Mercedes career and retirement. There’s also an extended interview conducted with Fangio in 1982, and an intriguing analysis of his record compared to those of later F1 champions. This book captures well the spirit of the man and should make a welcome addition to any enthusiast’s library. —Vintage Racecar David Bull Publishing Orders: 800-831-1758 or www.bullpublishing.com 7 2013 Ferrari Myth Calendar Ferrari Official Licensed Product Photographed by Günther Raupp 19” x 27” 12-month wall calendar printed on highquality art-gloss paper, 13 color photographs ISBN-13: 978-3-938316-18-4 $89.95 F or almost 30 years, photographer Günther Raupp has produced the only calendars officially sanctioned by Ferrari.

Elva also tells the story of the people who created the cars—starting with founder Frank Nichols—as well as those who drove them.

In the coming years such legendar y champions as Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewar t, and Niki Lauda would all log multiple victories at the circuit, which was loved for its unique setting, top-flight organization, and lucrative prize money. Argetsinger also explains how the circuit changed over the years and the factors that ultimately led to its demise. The book has coffee-table dimensions, and fills them with photographs which are transporting. —The New York Times Argetsinger recounts each year in graphic detail and with engaging character. —Classic & Sports Car T here’s no better introduction to Porsche histor y than Porsche Sounds. Along with hundreds of rare photographs of classic Porsches in action, the book comes with three CDs of sounds and music. The first includes recordings of the engines of 30 historic cars, from the No. 1 356 Roadster through the 2009 Panamera Turbo, with each recording linked to images and descriptions in the text.

Our first book with Tyler collects the remarkable photographs he’s taken during his long career in racing. We also plan to publish Tyler’s autobiography, which will tell the full story of his life and career at McLaren as well as with other teams.

The book covers the original series between 1966 and 1973, when the top American manufacturers and drivers battled for supremacy in such classic cars as the Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, and AMC Javelin. Between the hundreds of original photos and technically informed text, the book reveals a classic series in a new light.
