These are some of my favorite books that would make great presents. They are in no particular order of preference. Some are expensive high-quality coffee table tomes and others are cheap paperbacks for the beach. A few are out of print but they are all still available via various Internet sites like Amazon and eBay. Spread some holiday cheer and give your special gearhead something great to read. It’s not too late!
