I own quite a few Corvette books and have a modest working knowledge of Corvettes and Corvette history. This book was disappointing because it contains errors. Some of the photograph captions referred to a particular year Corvette, but the picture shown was not the correct year. I also found multiple errors in the text, which makes me doubt the accuracy of the data that I do not personally know. I suggest that the Black Book is a better, more accurate, reference. If you want a coffee table book with Corvette pictures, this might do. If you want an authoratative reference work, this is not the one to own.

This is one of the poorest Vette-Books I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot of them). The photos are most in very poor quality and partially somewhat like the 3rd copy of a bad scan.

The comments are incorrect and do not always correspond to the pics they describe. The facts are partally incorrect too. Most photos do not show original cars but customized Vettes, without remarking that fact.

The book is a very sad and bad copy of the original Corvette Black Book. Some colored Photos don't make a good book. It is obvious, that the author doesn't seriously refer to the Corvette at all.

My advise: Don't even think of buying this book!

I thought this was a great fact-filled book that provides excellent information to help with option avilability and year identification. There are even photos of rare factory modified Corvettes, too. I also thought the photos from Jerry Heasley and Nicky Wright were good. Tops on my list!
