Books about aerodynamics (Hucho, Barnard)

The two I've seen referred to occasionally (by non-experts) are:

Aerodynamics of Road Vehicles: From Fluid Mechanics to Vehicle Engineering ([Proceedings] / SAE)
by
by Wolf-Heinrich Hucho (Editor)

and



Road Vehicle Aerodynamic Design
by R.H. Barnard

I have Barnard's book. But from what I hear, the Hucho one is better (good luck finding it at less than $100-140).
