The Monograph Series
by Stance & Speed Books
Stance & Speed’s “Monograph Series” is aimed at people who like cars, as each 32-page hardcover book examines one significant automobile and the history surrounding it. The series will eventually include a wide variety of cars, road racers, dragsters, hot rods, one-off coach-built masterpieces, land speed record cars and more, with new books on further subjects introduced at regular intervals.
The first five examples examine Briggs Cunningham’s eponymous C-4RK, Bob Tullius’ Jaguar XJR-7, Alex Xydias’ hot rod So-Cal Coupe, A.J. Foyt’s Indy-winning Sheraton-Thompson Special Watson-Offy and Dan Gurney’s Belgian Grand Prix-winning Eagle-Weslake. Primary photography is by Peter Harholdt, supplemented by additional period photos. Leading automotive writers provide each book’s accompanying text, and a foreword by an important figure in each car’s history is featured. For these initial five offerings, the Cunningham text is penned by Peter Bodensteiner, the Jaguar by Ted West, the hot rod by Ken Gross, the Watson by Donald Davidson and the Eagle by Bob Varsha.
Available for US$24.95 from leading automotive booksellers, directly from the publisher at www.stanceandspeed.com or from Amazon.com. When dealing with the publisher, a “first five” special offer is available of all five books for $79.95, which includes domestic shipping.
