Legends
of the Track by Duane Falk
When visionary racecar driver
and mechanic Big Bill France began running races on the beach/road
course in Daytona, NASCAR was a newborn organization with high
hopes and healthy competitiion from a handful of other racing
organizations. But there was magic in the air (and in the sand)
at Daytona and the beautiful Florida locale ultimately proved
fertile ground for what today has grown into the most successful
racing organization in the world. Beginning with the seminal
course at Daytona Beach, Legends of the Track recounts
the history of NASCAR by detailing the sport's most famous tracks,
offering asphalt-blistering tales of the greatest events that
have unfolded at each one. Loaded with full-color photos.
9¼" x 12¼" 176 pages, index, fully
illustrated, hardbound ISBN 1-58663-071-1

A Cartoon of the
District of Columbia Flashbacks
Volume One Patrick M.
Reynolds brings history
to life with a sense of humor. His exciting drawings put you

dealing that resulted in the location and construction of the
U.S. capital city. This book covers the early history of DC from
1776 to 1863. You'll be surprised at how many cities served as
the U.S. capital; you'll be amazed that the city was built--despite
all the bickering, petty jealousies, and down-right stupidity.
