VELOCE AT THE LONDON BOOK FAIR APRIL 2011
Veloce Publishing will be at this year's London Book Fair (11-13 April 2011). Our exhibition stand number is R455. Come and say hello!
Here are just a few of Veloce's highlights in 2011 ...
By Peter Crespin
People dream of restoring an E-type, but many fail to complete their project after time or money run out. Do you REALLY need to spend �4000 trimming a two-seater, �6000 on an engine, �2000 on a soft top, or �30,000 for a new body shell? No � you can do it yourself for far less, provided your goal is a solid, presentable, and above all driveable car. If you are time rich but cash poor, this book is for you. More info.
By Gavin David Ireland
The Le Mans 24 Hours is the ultimate endurance race, and a classic feature of the motorsport calendar. This book captures the sheer scale and drama of this legendary race as never before, using specialist panoramic photography to give an unprecedented wide angle view of how the race is entered, watched, won, and lost. It is a timeless tribute to the Le Mans 24 Hours. More info.
By David Corfield
With more dramatic coastline and landscape packed within its borders than sardines in a tin can, Wales is justifiably proud of its visual splendour. In this, the second of the Roads With a View series, author David Corfield discovers the best roads and best views in Wales.

TOP GEAR'S STIG REVEALED AS BEN COLLINS
The BBC has lost a legal fight to stop publication of a book which reveals the identity of Top Gear's driver The Stig.
The High Court in London refused to grant the BBC an injunction blocking the publication by HarperCollins of an autobiography of former Formula Three driver Ben Collins.
The book, called The Man In The White Suit, claims Mr Collins is the mystery driver on the BBC Two show.
The Stig is famous for his racing overalls and dark-visored helmet. His identity has long been a closely-guarded secret on Top Gear - one of the BBC's most popular shows in the UK and around the world.
Last week, HarperCollins said it would "vigorously defend" its right to publish the book, adding it was "disappointed that the BBC has chosen to spend licence fee payers' money to suppress this book".
However Top Gear executive producer Andy Wilman attacked the publisher, writing on the Top Gear website that the BBC had a right to protect Stig's anonymity "from a bunch of chancers" who were "hoping to cash in on it".

BookRabbit news
Bookrabbit Announces Record Sales Conversion Rate In First Full Month Of Trading (rates of 5.04% in its first full month of trading in June. This compares to an industry average of 2.8%)
On BookRabbit, the new social networking site, book readers can share their love of literature with fellow book lovers.
BookRabbit attributes its success to bringing back the personal touch to book buying and selling which encourages readers to walk away with the right books for them, rather than just offering the latest best seller. Clever features on the site include the ability for customers to upload pictures of their bookcases to the site, so readers can look at the book collections of other people who have the same titles and interests as them. BookRabbit also offers free delivery on all books!
Kieron Smith, BookRabbit's managing director, said: "We launched BookRabbit to address a fundamental gap in the online book selling market. We understand that if you want to be surprised by books, if you want to experience new authors, if you have a passion for reading, then you don't turn to a machine, or the dinosaurs of the book trade to help you � you turn to other readers, and what they have experienced through the books they have read. The sales conversion figures from June show that we've clearly hit the mark with consumers and that once people come to the site they are findings books they want to buy."

Reducing The Carbon Footprint Within The Publishing Industry
The previous post gave an indication that cars could undergo a dramatic change in offsetting their impact on global warming. The publishing industry itself could also follow a similar direction. With bookfaironline.net it's central premise is to digitalise the book fair process so that there is no need to travel to and from location. In doing so, they are inviting publishers to join them in reducing the carbon footprint within the publishing industry. However, the site is currently just an empty box waiting for content. Although the site offers a �1,000 voucher for publisher's wishing to participate, very few appear to have done so at this stage.
