I couldn't wait for Santa to bring it..

I bought it about 2 months ago when it first came out. It is an AWESOME book. There are some really great pictures in it, along with some great stories on each car.

:seeya

Had to chime in - Santa left one under my tree too. If I could just get past the pictures, I'll bet the text is full of great info on each of the different years. Looks like a good book to pass some of the winter months with while waiting for the snow to melt.

:chevy :yesnod:

I bought mine 2 months ago when it first came out, awesome pictures and lots of history to learn. I would recommend this book to anyone that owns a corvette or that is interested in Corvettes..... :lol:

I got it too for xmas!!

I will agree there are some typo's and errors in this book..

Even in the Forward written by Chevy GM (Kurt Ritter) there is a line that is "With total sales of nearly $1.2 million, it has become not only America's favorite sports car but also a true American icon..

I was slightly confused at the $1.2Million (I was thinking $$) when I realized it was total production numbers ($ should not have been there)
