5.0 out of 5 stars The best Camaro book!, September 1, 2007

This review is from: Camaro (Motorbooks Classic) (Paperback)

This book is the softcover version of another book by the same author.

There are several books on the history of Camaro but I chose this one.
My choice paid off when I received this book.With plenty of photographs throughout covering the various models and plenty of interesting information as well,this book impressed me.

The only fault I could find was too many photographs of the same cars instead of several examples of each model.Apart from that this book is the best.
