The best Camaro book! September 2, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is the softcover version of another book by the same author.
There are several books on the history of Camaro but I chose this one.
My choice paid off when I received this book.With plenty of photographs throughout covering the various models and plenty of interesting information as well,this book impressed me.
The only fault I could find was too many photographs of the same cars instead of several examples of each model.Apart from that this book is the best.
Very interesting book August 20, 2005

First of all, this book is fascinating to read. It contains a lot of interesting facts and nice stories you will love. Besides, it is full of great pictures (some of them are real stunning shots). The only thing that disappointed me a little - there are too many new cars in this book. I would prefer to see more rare models from the late sixties/early seventies instead. But that's my personal opinion. For those looking for the performance specials, I would recommend a nice book written by Jason Scott and David Newhardt. Its title speaks for itself: "Camaro Z28 and Performance Specials". You may also like to buy both of them. They are worth it!
The best Camaro book I've found! January 24, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is well-organized and well-written. The author knows the subject matter and it shows! The information is pretty comprehensive and details everything you'd want to know about the Camaro's distinguished history (from 1966 to 2000)--R&D, engine design, options available, marketing, sales, etc. Hundreds of detailed color photos are also provided.
Another plus about this book is the fact that there was an editor! I can't recall finding any misspelled words, errors in grammar, or misinformation. A book this "clean" is such a rarity nowadays!
Personal note: I purchased the hardcover edition of this book and, while very nice and durable, I found it difficult to read because of its size (10.25" x 10.25" x 0.5"). If you're only interested in reading the material versus using the book as a reference piece, I would recommend getting the paperback edition.
