(le résumé en français se trouve en bas de page)
Many books have been written about Cadillac and La Salle automobiles. Unfortunately, the majority of them are now out of print. Nonetheless, they sometimes turn up at swap meets and automotive trivia sales. The pictures, below, of the books in my collection or that I have encountered in other collections will help you in your search for Cadillac and Cadillac-related books.Where dust jackets are missing and where the book cover is blank, the image (below) is of the inner title page.
When I find time, I will add a description of each of these books (size, number of pages and summary of contents).
Check out also the next page for images of books that include sections, articles or good photos of Cadillac and La Salle cars.
The books listed here address mainly Cadillac history, production and styling. Not included are the popular "Fix-It" books and manuals. If these are your area of interest, you are advised to use some of the discount book sellers that advertise on the Internet (e.g. Amazon.com).
Finally, a couple of addresses for out-of-print books :

1 Published by Tab Books, Publication date: October 1988 ISBN: 0830691200. Book News, Inc., 08/01/89. This is about the key people responsible for Cadillac's success, the car's innovative engines and styling, comparison with domestic and foreign competition, marketing strategies. Covers the post WWII models up to 1987 with their features, shortcomings, available options, prices, performance data, engine specifications, styling, and special developments. Ackerman is not harsh in his judgements. No bibliography. This annotation is copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or (the cover of this book is black, so I have shown here the inside front cover, with a legible title)

3 I know Jeff well; he did a series of articles about many of the Cadillac toys in my former collection for "Cadillac Connoisseur", the magazine of the Cadillac Club International, Palm Springs, CA; surprisingly, none of these toys are mentioned in the book, which centers principally on large-scale models of recent manufacture
(résumé en français)Dans le tableau ci-dessus sont illustrées les jacquettes des ouvrages consacrés aux automobiles Cadillac et La Salle d'où sont extraites de nombreuses informations contenues dans la (New) Cadillac Database©. Ceux qui comportent un petit sigle dans le coin supérieur droit (pouce relevé - mais malheureusement pas très visible) ne traitent pas uniquement des voitures de ces deux marques, mais contiennent en revanche un chapitre qui leur est consacré.
