Porter Press – fine books curated by Amalgam - the full collection >

This book is unique. It is a compendium of wonderful automotive treasure, as discovered. With the passage of time all cars became worthless and unloved, no matter how eminent. Racing cars inevitably became uncompetitive and redundant. Many vehicles passed into scrapyards, the motoring equivalent of a cemetery, or simply rotted away.

Today, of course, we value, covet and preserve the work of great designers, engineers and coachbuilders, and their creations give enormous pleasure to many, whether it be in ownership, driving, competing or simply as historic objects to be admired when on display. All will have a story – sometimes sad, sometimes heroic.

Many of the more esoteric car companies produced machines that were not only engineering masterpieces but also great works of art.

Italian Corrado Cupellini was a pioneer in the developing old car movement in the 1960s and ’70s. He had a mission: to explore, discover and rescue motor cars of merit before it was too late. He roved the world following his passion and this extraordinary book is a photographic record of his astounding journey of discovery.

    Limited to just 50 copies signed by author Michael Kliebenstein. As Michael Kliebenstein's amazing SuperFinds book consists of photographs of hundreds of seriously important historic cars as found in scrapyards, sheds, fields and old garages, many of them are damaged, modified or rusty. Picking up the rust theme as being something very different, Porter Press have set out to create, with the help of their specialist bookbinders, an appropriately distressed appearance for the special Collector's Edition. The slipcase is covered in a velvet which, because of the pile (like a carpet), gives a mottled effect. The books are bound in a mixture of heavily-grained blue leather which will age nicely and a material that looks like rusty metal. The metal plate with the book title also appears to be rusty and the four screws that attach it are intentionally rusty. Finally, the end-papers also look rusty. The book’s ethos could be summed up as shabby chic.

    Rope comes out at the slightest force. Pointless tug toy!
    Color: Four colors, Size: 6cm (with rope)
    If your dog pulls on these (and why wouldn’t he?), the rope immediately comes out. Turns out they just fuse the ends of the nylon rope together, which is no match for a dog playing tug. Any dog, any level of pulling will dismantle these. We’ve managed to reinsert the rope to a couple of these and KNOT it, which gives you a shorter rope but a toy that can withstand some play. But if I had wanted a DIY toy, I’d have used the balls and rope I already own.

    Not for super chewers!
    Color: Four colors, Size: 5cm (with rope), Color: Four colors, Size: 5cm (with rope)
    These rope ball toys arrived today. My poodle puppy loves rope ball toys and playing tug of war. These didn’t last 10 minutes. For context, she is 1 y.o., 30 lbs., is not teething & has her adult teeth. She did this on her own- we were not playing tug of war at the time the toy fell apart. At least there are 3 more in the package & when the rope is done, we’ll still have the balls to play with.

    Good and comfortable toe socks
    Size: 10-12, Color: Black 5 Pairs
    First time wearing toe socks. I bought them to help prevent athlete's foot between the toes, which I'm prone to getting. Being a guy, I did have some reservations because I thought they'd look silly or whatever but I went ahead and bought these since they're going inside shoes anyway. I'm so glad I did! My only complaint is that the length of the toes are a bit short. In shoes I wear a men's 11 and I ordered 10-12 in these socks. The overall length is perfect but the toes are a bit too short and won't go all the way back to my webbing in the 1st and 2nd interspaces. The other toes and interspaces are fine. It's a minor complaint and not enough to remove a star. Overall I'm very satisfied with the product. I've suffered from Morton's Neuroma in both feet and various interspaces all of my life. I think I've finally found the solution. I've been walking 4.4 miles a day for over a month now. Something I've never been able to do. I wear these ZAKASA toe socks, along with the Dr. Wolf orthotics which have good arch support and a metatarsal arch just behind the metatarsal heads. I also wear the Bronax shoes which have a wide forefoot to let the toes spread out. The combination of the shoes, socks, and orthotics has worked wonders on my feet! No athlete's foot either! I highly recommend these ZAKASA toe socks. I've bought two 5 packs already. No regrets!

    Great quality and price per pair
    Size: 10-12, Color: White 5 Pairs
    Had these about 6 weeks now and am very pleased with how they've held up so far. I've gone through 2 other brands before this and will be sticking with them as long as they continue to hold up. Seams are still good, toe hasn't worn through at the toenail, no visible fading/wear on the pads of the feet. They are still annoying to straighten out after washing like all other toed socks, but the fit has held up and elastic is still snug and comfortable after daily wear (I did buy 2 packages, so they do get rotation before being worn)
