	*Bentley: Fifty Years of the Marque* Thirty five years ago Dalton Watson, now Dalton Watson Fine Books, first published Bentley: Fifty Years of the Marque by Johnnie Green. The book was received enthusiastically by the cognoscenti, so much so, that to meet demand it went through several re-prints. Since then, much more background information about the featured cars has become available and so Dalton Watson commissioned three leading Bentley experts, Peter Hageman, Bernard King and Martin Bennett to comprehensively re-edit the captions and index.
	*Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance: The Art of the Poster* by the author and Concours historian, Robert Devlin.
	*Bentley Motors- On The Road* By noted Rolls-Royce and Bentley author* Bernard King.* This book beautifully reproduces the rare promotional magazines that Bentley Motors (1931) Limited published in the late 1930s called " On the Road". There were 13 issues of the magazine and it was designed for current and prospective owners. It was heavily illustrated and features Derby Bentleys in use by current owners with fashionable backdrops. After an immense amount of research, noted Derby specialist, Bernard King has been able to identify most of the cars. The magazine is very hard to find and very few people have complete sets. It may be noted that the comparable Rolls-Royce Bulletin of the time is rare but is more widely available. The publication of such a Bentley book will be of great interest and value to collectors and enthusiasts, particularly when coupled with the identification of the cars and the provision of many indices and tables. Released in two volumes with slipcase. Click here to read a comprehensive press release
