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.

    Great
    Color: Wireless Charging, Color: Wireless Charging
    I bought this wireless charging mouse pad, because my phone isn’t charging anymore using the USB, plus I need a new mouse pad, the wireless charging is super convenient, just drop my phone on the pad and it starts charging fast 15W. The surface of the pad is really smooth, perfect for both casual use and gaming. My mouse glides like butter, and it's big enough to hold my keyboard and mouse perfectly. It also stays in place thanks to the non-slip backing. One of my favorite things is the foldable phone holder. I didn’t think I’d use it much, but it actually comes in handy when I’m watching videos or just keeping an eye on notifications while working. Plus, the whole thing looks pretty sleek and would actually make a solid gift. Overall, definitely worth it for anyone who wants to tidy up their desk setup and the wireless charging is super convenient. Easy to use, durable and easy to clean.

    Nice pad. Mediocre charger.
    Color: Wireless Charging
    The large pad surface is comfortable. The wireless charger functionality is hit or miss. Even without a phone case it seems to choose when it wants to work. Sometimes you gotta reposition the phone five times to get it to function.

    Save your money (and computer)
    Color: Wireless Charging
    Bought the mouse pad for gaming: First, it's a bit too thick/squishy. Second: I understand mouse pads need time to flatten from the rolled up packaging. I took it out and let it sit for a week or two (didn't flatten). Tried putting things on top for another week or two (again didn't flatten). When lifting theouse the pad would lift with it because it was not flat, so it was unusable and outside of the return window. Third: Plugged in the cable that comes with it for the wireless charging to my computer. Computer instantly gave an error about the port requiring too much power. I restarted and tried a reliable Anker brand cable in the same type, no issue. Plugged in the cable again that came with this and my computer instantly shut off. I've only heard of this happening and never witnessed it until now. Dangerously poor quality cable for a computer. Save your money and your computer.

    Great addition to my computer setup
    Color: Wireless Charging
    This gaming pad is absolutely beautiful. The LED lighting is bright and has many different settings and colors to choose from. My mouse works very well on this mat, it is responsive and glides easily over the surface without any drag. There is more than enough room for the keyboard too. The phone charger quickly charges my iPhone 15Pro, and also works on my son’s android phone.

    Bang for your BUCK
    Color: Wireless Charging
    The mat is very high quality, holds the keyboard and mouse down very nicely, sits flat even after being rolled and folded with no creases or markings. The charger works instnatly and is very fast. The only thing that earned it 4 instead of 5 stars is that the phone holder when folded doesn't hold up too well as i would've thought but it does the job and is still very nice quality. WORTH EVERY PENNY!
