Speedboat
by D. W. Fostle
Steam, electricity, then gasoline...this history of speed over water shows each record breaker, either in the act, or on the drawing board, with large format photographs from the Rosenberg Collection at Mystic Seaport Museum. Printed in limited press-run, and with few copies now remaining, this visually delicious work is certain to become rare and collectible.
Its duo-tone images float on the page!
This is not a handbook, nor is it absolutely necessary for planning or building boats, but it will certainly inform better design. Photos and lines of fast boats are shown here and nowhere else—boats that are beautiful because of their simplicity of form. This is the book for anyone stimulated by thoughtful uncluttered design.
ISBN 1-939510-07-3, 9 1/4 x 12 1/4 , 218 pages $69.95
Hard Cover, 200+ B & W photos and line drawings
