Jean-Pierre Barthélémy occupies a unique place in the world of French publishing. In the mid 1980s, he left a career in teaching to devote himself to the publication of high quality technical books. His Société de Production et d’Edition (SPE) operates from a comfortable locale in the XV Arrondissement in Paris, where passionate lovers of cars and other forms of transportation gather to admire and purchase his beautiful editions. Among Mr. Barthélémy’s works are an account of the mythical “Route 66” in the United States, written by Jean-Pierre Reymond and lavishly illustrated by Patrick Bard; a recently published history of the French aircraft carrier “Charles de Gaulle”; the catalogue for the Mulhouse Museum of Automobiles; a biography of stylist Paul Bracq; and, in collaboration with eminent historian Christian Moity, the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Grand Prix of Monaco.
