The Lotus-library currently has almost 250 books that are either about Lotus, or feature a Lotus prominently on the front cover. The selection of Lotus books shown are all available in the archive and can be used for research, or simply read and enjoyed! The books are displayed in A-Z order by book title, except…. The first book shown is the very first book published on Lotus. Written by Ian Smith, this book was published by John Blunsden’s then fledgling publishing company Motor Racing Publications (MRP) in the summer of 1958.
Understandably, the majority of titles start with the word ‘Lotus’ and, although at first glance it may appear that some titles are duplicated, these in fact show different editions of the same title. The author and isbn are listed when possible.
The archive does have duplicate copies of many of these titles, so if you are looking to acquire a copy of any of the books shown here send us an email and ask if we have one we can sell. Or you can go direct to this page (pre-owned Lotus books).
If you are a publisher or author and have produced a book on Lotus not shown here please consider sending us a copy so we can add it to the ‘Lotus Library’. Or, if you are a Lotus enthusiast and collector and have a book we don’t list, please contact us and tell us all about it.
