First Gear: Motorbooks

Take a look inside

First Gear books offer short bursts of information and photography that can be enjoyed a little at a time or in one read. They appeal to the lifelong enthusiast eager to read about their favorite topic, or to young readers or adults picking up or returning to a gearhead lifestyle. They make great gifts and great reads. The focus of these books is the large number of photo-heavy vehicle spreads. Each book begins with an overall introduction to the title subject before breaking into chapters organized around more specific sub-topics (models of certain decades, generations of design, styles of vehicle). Each chapter begins with a short introduction of that sub-topic and what makes it unique and important.
