Now, a new book on the revered marque attempts to follow the same approach. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars: Making a Legend, published by ACC Art Books, doesn't just tell the history of a company that's become synonymous with power, affluence, and success; instead, it showcases the numerous artisans behind the vehicles, "the ordinary men and women who make the world's most extraordinary motor cars."-- "Robb Report"<br><br>If you're more of a theoretical speedster, then we've got just the high-octane page-turner for you (and your coffee table). Featuring in-depth descriptions and remarkable photographs ranging from initial sketches to the finished luxury products, this new release from ACC Art Books was authorised by the British carmaker -- meaning it had unfettered access, from the drawing board to drivetrain testing.-- "Gentleman's Journal"<br><br>Rolls Royce Motor Cars - Making a Legend is an oversize coffee table book that takes the reader on an exclusive insider's tour of Rolls Royce, introducing the various masters who hand-build every car that bears the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament. Authors Simon Van Booy and Harvey Briggs got unprecedented access to the Rolls Royce archives and current management for this portrait, but it's the new photography by Mariona Vilarós that really gives this book a special place in any automotive library. At 295 pages, this book is a tour de force for anyone who loves and appreciates high quality bespoke motorcars.-- "Ferrari"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Simon Van Booy is a celebrated Anglo-American author, who has won the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award.
