Camaro, by Anthony Young,
By Eugene A. Bienskie (Chester, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Camaro (Hardcover)
I have six books about the Camaro and, out of them all, this one has the best selection of pictures for all four generations of this car. It includes detailed descriptions about the development of each model generation, including accurate text regarding vehicle engine and chassis specifications. I particularly enjoyed the detailed pictures and text about the 2000 Super Sport model, since I own one myself. I highly recommend this book to any Camaro, or Chevrolet fan.

The best Camaro book I've found!,
By FJR Rider (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Camaro (Hardcover)
This book is well-organized and well-written. The author knows the subject matter and it shows! The information is pretty comprehensive and details everything you'd want to know about the Camaro's distinguished history (from 1966 to 2000)--R&D, engine design, options available, marketing, sales, etc. Hundreds of detailed color photos are also provided.
Another plus about this book is the fact that there was an editor! I can't recall finding any misspelled words, errors in grammar, or misinformation. A book this "clean" is such a rarity nowadays! Personal note: I purchased the hardcover edition of this book and, while very nice and durable, I found it difficult to read because of its size (10.25" x 10.25" x 0.5"). If you're only interested in reading the material versus using the book as a reference piece, I would recommend getting the paperback edition.
