Default $75 List Jerry Burton Book-"Corvette America's Sports Car*Yesterday*Today*Tomorrow"

Saw this book at Border's today and hadn't planned to buy it, until I got to the counter and found that the wife had a 10% off discount.

Searched and found at Amazon when I got home for $49.50 ($59.33 delivered).

I plan on returning the Borders one after the Amazon shows up.

Has anyone else seen this book? Jerry Burton is the Corvette Quarterly editor, and this book has the same feel and quality of the "old" CQ....excellent pics...Amazon web pics/review doesn't do it justice...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0883...49#reader-link

3 reviews and all are 5 stars on Amazon.

I looked it over (took it out of the sleeve) and decided that I had to have it at the store (if I got a deal)!

Highly recommended.

PS: Note: That's a replica of a C6 emblem "stuck" onto the front in 3D-i.e. 3/16" thick or so (in chrome not silver edging like the OEM emblem - although it looks to be sized and proportioned about right though)

It is a very nice book. Like you said, great quality and photos. The emblem is a neat touch too.

Costco had them back in late November for $44.99, so I bought mine there. They had another shipment in December before Christmas, but I haven't seen them since.

Another high recommendation from me as well.

Thanks to a Forum member I was able to buy it for $35. It is a great book. I really like the leather-like cover with the C6 emblem.
