The story of Jensen favouring American V8 power began during the 1930s, with the building of their first prototype car. Although this pre-war period was short-lived, this would be the start of what was to eventually become one of the company's main trademarks - the V8 engine. This new book examines the C-V8, Interceptor and FF models as well as Jensen's use of Chrysler, Ford and General Motors engines. The history, design, development and production of these cars is covered and the book is illustrated with 300 colour photographs.

During the 1960s, the automobile finally secured its position as an indispensable component of daily life in Britain. Car ownership more than doubled from approximately one car for every 10 people in 1960 to one car for every 4.8 people by 1970. Consumers no longer asked "Do we need a car?" but "What car shall we have?" This well-illustrated history analyzes how both domestic car manufacturers and importers advertised their products in this growing market, identifying trends and themes. Over 180 advertisement illustrations are included.
Solaris Van-Nuyes is a eighteen year old vampire, and she has been that way for the past 155 years. Solaris lives with her vampire family and they only hunt human's that are hand picked by their leader, Raymond. Raymond only picks the scum of the earth that more or less deserve the fate that his family bestows upon the scum.The rules of the house are simple. No feeding outside of Raymond's picks. Do not wonder into Bayside Heights where the Werewolves live. If you don't come home then call to let someone at home know you wont be coming home. On Wednesday morning Solaris was missing and the last person she was with was Jensen Hernandez from Bayside Heights. For some reason Solaris woke up in Jensen's body and nobody seemed to believe Solaris when she told them that she wasnt Jensen and it almost started a war between the vampires and werewolves. Jensen woke up bound and gagged inside Solaris' body in a wine cellar of a local warlock that has been obsessed with Solaris and he had put a dark spell upon Jensen and Solaris in a jealous rage. He placed the spell on them thinking they were in a relationship the night Jensen helped Solaris with her broken down car. Dark magic has been banned for over 300 years, so if anyone found out that he had done the magic spell, Gerry would lose all of his powers or possibly something far worse. Gerry kidnapped Jensen thinking it was Solaris and planned on killing Jensen, but a passing car made Gerry leave in a hurry without making sure that Jensen was actually dead. The spell was to switch Jensens body with death. Unbeknownst to the warlock known as Gerry Mueller was that the closest "death" to Jensen was in fact Solaris and he had switched the two mistakenly. After Gerry put Solaris whom now was Jensen into the trunk a truck was coming around the bend and instead of checking to make sure Jensen was actually dead Gerry slammed the trunk closed and sped off with a mismatched Jensen in the trunk.
