Reading If Santa failed to fill your stocking with anything good to read this Christmas, let us suggest a few titles to snuggle up with to help take the chill out of winter.
Wanderlust: Airstream at 75, by Russ Banham, hardbound, 192 pages, Greenwich Publishing, airstream.com, $99.99.
Wally Byam built a teardrop-shaped structure on a Model T Ford chassis enclosing an ice chest and kerosene stove in 1930 and the first Airstream was born. Now, some 75 years later the company Byam founded still makes travel trailers and luxurious motorhomes for those who want the comforts of home on the road. Wanderlust chronicles Airstreamers through history. You can get a standard-edition for $39.99 while the numbered, limited-edition comes enclosed in a custom-riveted Airstream-aluminum sleeve.

Man and Machine, The Best of Stephan Wilkinson, by Stephan Wilkinson, softbound, 196 pages, The Lyons Press, globepequot.com, $16.95.
Wilkinson, an auto editor at Popular Science, former Car and Driver editor and a longtime aviation journalist and pilot, writes, "I am a professional coward... but I do love the jolt that comes from putting myself into the grip of a machine that can do me harm." In 28 chapters of Wilkinson's adventures, many reprinted from Popular Science, you'll learn things like how the Luftwaffe and Swedes co-invented the pilot-ejection seat and what it's like to be ejected. Oh, and massive ships do not need miles to make a turn, and a modern cruise ship can stop in seven hull-lengths. Wilkinson writes about go-karts, F1 and dB drag racing, too.
