For anyone who likes balls-to-the-wall Nascar action this is the book for you! "Trading Paint" features 173 of the most awesome racing photos ever assembled and delves inside the intense rivalry that Jeff Gordon and the late great Dale Earnhardt shared. The shots of The Intimidator in action provide a great time capsule depicting a man at the top of his sport. As a huge fan of Earnhardt it was both enjoyable and bittersweet looking back over his legendary career through the pictures and text in this book. I also have more respect for Jeff Gordon than ever after reading his story and looking back on his many impressive victories. He's still got a lot of great racing left in him, and if you aren't impressed with him yet you should really check out some of the sick action shots of #24 in this book. Bottom line, whether you're a fan of Earnhardt or Gordon or you just plain love Nascar racing, "Trading Paint" is a must-have!

I ordered this book a few days after the death of Dale Earnhardt. I've been a Jeff Gordon fan for a few years now, and loved watching the on-track duels between these two drivers. The stories and pictures compliment each other very well, telling the story of two fierce competitors and their respect for one another. I am sad knowing that there will never be another last lap duel between 'Wonderboy' and the Intimidator, but this book helps keep the memories alive. Highly recommended for fans of either driver, or NASCAR fans in general.

If you love racing, and if you have the respect of great drivers you will love this book. I own many NASCAR books, and this is my favorite. The pictures are amazing the information is great. You can't go wrong with this book. There is one sad thing about the book...after reading it reality sets in that we won't see this rivalry on the track ever again. The memories are well-documented in this book and will live on! Thanks Dale and Jeff!

Some of the greatest racing pictures ever. What a great way to remember Dale Earnhardt. If you LIKE Nascar you will LOVE this book. I have seen a lot of George Tiedemann's work and this is as usual, quality work. Buy it!
