Books from the boys

If an hour a week of TGTV - plus all the fall-out right here on TopGear.com - doesn't satisfy your desire for Jeremy, James and Richard, you'll be glad to hear that all three presenters have been shamelessly cashing in on the run-up to Christmas by releasing new books.

As you might have seen on that Jonathon Ross telly show a couple of weeks back, Richard has just released his autobiography, On The Edge, co-written with his wife Mindy.

Detailing the Hamster's 300mph jet car crash and his subsequent recovery, On The Edge is also available in CD form if you don't like words. Oh, and follow this link through to an Amazon page where there's a very fetching promotional video for your viewing pleasure. Slick, Richard.

Don't Stop Me Now is Jeremy's latest collection of columns on, well, just about anything and everything.

Find out why Galapagos tortoises are all mental, why Jeremy Paxman and the bassist from AC/DC have plenty in common and why it's so difficult being English - oh, and plenty of irreverent, potentially litigious car stuff too.

James May's 20th Century accompanies the recent BBC2 series, in which Captain Slow delved into the last hundred years of technological thingummies and gubbins.

Revealing why some inventions did pretty well - the internet, the car and Viagra, for example - and why some were frankly rubbish (the Zeppelin, the hovercraft and the Austin Metro), the book is packed with facts and statistics and nuts and bolts. Just like James himself, actually.

To win all three books, get on over to our competition and show off your car knowledge.
