2.0 out of 5 stars Two stars for having lots of nice photos, January 23, 2005

By	FJR Rider (Texas) - See all my reviews

The title of this book is misleading--it is NOT comprehensive in any way, it covers only the high-performance Camaros (RS, SS, Z28, Yenko, COPO, etc.), with the information being very basic in scope. The many detailed color photos are the only reason to buy this book.

Although I would consider it an easy read, sometimes it's tough to accept all of the errors. Like the other reviewers here, I'm really convinced that MBI forgot the entire editing process with this one. The author probably knows the subject matter, but it hardly shows with all of the mistakes, misinformation and poor grammar.

For a few bucks more, I would highly recommend "Camaro" [ISBN: 0760319324] by Anthony (Tony) Young. It's definitely the best Camaro book I've found!

1.0 out of 5 stars FULL OF MISTAKES, January 12, 2004

By	David J. Jurek (Evans, GA USA) - See all my reviews

I just want to know one thing; where in the world did this guy get his information?!

If you like to look at pictures, then this book is mediocre...barely. This book is full of technical errors suggesting that there are 454 camaros and misidentifying a lot of the cars pictured, just for a couple examples.

Not a good book at all.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice pictures, but..., August 19, 2002

By A Customer

I just received this book today. It is full of mistakes and misinformation. And I've only begun to read it! So far, I've just read a few paragraphs and all the photo captions. I really like the color photos. But I won't rely on any of the technical information. The Camaro history may be correct. I haven't read it, yet. I don't consider this book a good buy.
