Book excerpt: It's hard to imagine a history of British engineering without Rolls-Royce: there would be no Silver Ghost, no Merlin for the Spitfire, no Alcock and Brown. Rolls-Royce is one of the most recognisable brands in the world. But what of the man who designed them? The youngest of five children, Frederick Henry Royce was born into almost Dickensian circumstances: the family business failed by the time he was 4, his father died in a Greenwich poorhouse when he was 9, and he only managed two fragmented years of formal schooling. But he made all of it count. In Sir Henry Royce: Establishing Rolls-Royce, from Motor Cars to Aero Engines, acclaimed aeronautical historian Peter Reese explores the life of an almost forgotten genius, from his humble beginnings to his greatest achievements. Impeccably researched and featuring almost 100 illustrations, this is the remarkable story of British success on a global stage.

Book excerpt: The story behind the most iconic of cars, and the rich, powerful, and eccentric people who own them For generations, people the world over have been intrigued by the magic of the hand-built motor cars created by the world's most skilled craftsmen and women. Their workmanship and world-class engineering made Rolls-Royce the benchmark for quality and excellence, such that the supreme accolade for other products was to be described as the Rolls-Royce of. Ironically, the company that became the symbol of privilege and luxury was founded by a self-taught engineer, Frederick Henry Royce, son of a Lincolnshire farmer, who started working at age 10 to help his widowed mother make ends meet. Obsessed with perfection in every task, he proclaimed that nothing is ever right or good enough, yet he produced the finest motor cars the world had ever seen. Owners range from royalty and billionaires to Hollywood stars and the just plain rich. They share one aim--to own the very best.

Book excerpt: Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it. Sir Henry Royce and Charles Rolls, the founders of Rolls-Royce, settled for nothing but perfection. The above quotation from Henry Royce still guides the brand to this day. And the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars publication is adorned with the first sentence of this guiding principle in large silver letters. The publication will bring together the brand s unique history, which spans more than a century, and modern-day developments. It will draw attention to the Spirit of Ecstasy. The 100th anniversary of the legendary figure, which graces the bonnet of every single Rolls-Royce ever made, served as the occasion for renowned British celebrity photographer Rankin to produce an enthralling 100-piece photo series. The images constitute artistic and often highly personal interpretations of the brand s iconic emblem. "
