CAN-AM
by Pete Lyons
The first complete historical account of the grand, glorious Canadian-American Challenge Cup series for ultra-powerful "unlimited" sports-racing cars from 1966 through 1974. Pete covered most of the races for Autosport, and his 268-page book, published by MBI in 1995, puts the whole story together. In 100,000 words he recounts all nine years and 71 races in detail, describes the significant cars, and profiles every Can-Am Champion. Included are complete grids and results for every event, as well as 305 color and monochrome photos. Winner of the Motor Press Guild's Dean Batchelor Award.

FERRARI: THE MAN AND HIS MACHINES
by Pete Lyons
and the Auto Editors of Consumer Guide
Written in 1989 and published by Publications International, this book does three things well. It traces the vehicles' histories. It chronicles the man who created these vehicles. Plus, it puts you behind the wheel of every important Ferrari road car. Add to that the rare factory photographs and dozens of color portraits and this is a Ferrari book not to be missed.
This is a hardbound book that is currently out of print, but a limited number of copies are still available directly from Pete.
