I loved the book! It had just the right balance of pictures and writing. Everything was wonderfully organized and written. Definitely a Corvette-lovers' book. I love it!

A wonderful book on The Corvette,There is a Hardcover from 1988 with the 1988 35th anniversary Edition Corvette and a 1953 Corvette on the cover,then there is this version which I have,a Red Solid-Axle Corvette on the cover and a Red Callaway Car on the back,this version is from 2004 and is Softcover(so careful when ordering soft and hardcover).The Softcover version does not mention it is revised but seems slightly revised with Callaway Cars and Something I have not seen in any other Corvette Books,Color photos of 90's Lister-Bodied Corvettes,not to be confused with Lister of the 50's which were Jag,Bristol and Mg and Corvette/Chevy Powered(there are small black and white photos of them in here also).Another Plus for me from this book besides the Great writing and the Color Photography,is the Famous 1959 Racing Champion MarkIII Purple People Eater Corvette #1 of Nickey Chevrolet/Jim Jeffords,The Restored #10 Grand Sport Corvette Roadster of 66'Sebring,and another Favorite is the Chapter on The Corvette Challenge Cars of 1988-1989 and the last chapter which sadly is all black and white,and is called "A Designer's Sketchbook which has some photos of Famous Concepts such as The Mako Shark I and MakoShark II/Manta Ray,AstroII,and sadly only one photo(rear shot) of the Astro I,as well as photos of the Controversial Stingray III of the 90's.This book will not disappoint the Corvette Fan.
