Three corvettes 5 reviews
Nicholas Monsarrat
Panther Books, 1958
Great collection of short stories
Originally published as "Monsarrat at Sea". It contains all his short stories about the sea: HM Corvette, East Coast Corvette, Corvette Command (all publ. during the war), HMS Marlborough Will Enter Harbor, Ship that Died of Shame, etc. Everything but "The Cruel Sea". Some stories are fiction, others are not, but they're all great tales told with eloquence, wit, style and substance. I read almost ...

No Right Turn5 reviews
Terry Trueman
HarperTeen, 2006
Courtesy of Teens Read Too
Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Terry Trueman's books, so I won't waste time praising his virtues. Although come to think of it, he might appreciate that. Still, the story of sixteen-year old Jordan, the main character of NO RIGHT TURN, should hopefully be praise enough.
Suicide is never pretty. But when you're a teen, and the last thing your father says to you before he shoots ...

Corvette Odyssey: The True Story of One Man's Path to Roadster Redemption14 reviews
Terry Berkson
The Lyons Press, 2005
Never Give Up!
Anyone who has ever owned a classic car knows there is a bond between man and machine that comes with it, whether it is Corvette or a classic of lesser prestige. That bond can drive one to extremes when thieves try to separate the two. The extremes Berkson went to would be perfectly understandable--anywhere but New York, where the fate of a stolen car is usually sealed within hours of its ...

Publications International, 2004
A must for C5 owners
As a proud owner of a new C5 Corvette, a friend of mine bought this book for me. After a few hours, I finally set it down only to see his 3 year old daughter spill a glass of milk all over it. So I had no choice but to immediately buy another!
I thought I knew everything about Corvettes, especially the beautiful C5. This book taught more then I could ever learn by mere Corvette ownership ...

Corvette facts
This book delivers all the facts about each year of the classic American sports car. Brief and to the point. Lists the options, colors, performance characteristics and prices in the year of manufacture. If you are looking to buy (especially your first) a used Corvette, it is very useful in deciding which year you want and evaluating different cars.

The Corvette6 reviews
Richard Woodman
John Murray Publishers Ltd, 1985
One of his best
I've now read the first five books in the Nathaniel Drinkwater series and continue to be impressed with the author's command of the English language and his colorful characterizations. In reading these books I get a strong feeling of having been with Drinkwater on his adventures; such is the extent of Woodman's talent for description and characterization. Even minor characters are not neglected. ...

Corvette by the Numbers...a must read for Corvetters
This book is, indeed, the essential Corvette powertrain parts reference for the V8-powered Vette's first 27 model years. Some consumers' first reactions might be to question the book's 50-dollar price, but when you consider its depth and detail along with the cost of its considerable research; most C1, 2 and 3 enthusiasts in need of a definitive text on V8 powertrain parts identification will ...

Corvette: America's Sports Car3 reviews
Randy Leffingwell
Motorbooks, 1997
An exceptionally well-written book, with superb photography
As the owner of three Corvettes, I know a bit about Corvettes and their history. This book taught me a great deal more about America's sports car. It is exceptionally well-written, and will be interesting to both the Corvette enthusiast and those who only know that Corvettes mean fun. Randy obviously did a great deal of research for this book, and it shows. What really sets this book ...

Robert Genat
Car Tech, 2008
Amazing book
Very well written. The photos are amazing, beautiful and bring (more) life to these vehicles. I am a Robert Genat fan already, but this is by far one of his best yet! I learned so much reading this book, a fascinating history of the Corvette's life from '57-'65. This is a must have item! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Zora Arkus-Duntov: The Legend Behind Corvette (Chevrolet)3 reviews
Jerry Burton
Bentley Publishers, 2002
If you love Corvettes, this is about the Father of Corvettes
Very very interesting book on the Father (but not creator) of the Corvette. The book brings the legend to life. If you have already put Zora on a Pedestal, then you may not want to read this book as it shows his human side (but does not tarnish it). On the other hand if you want to know the inside story on someone who had a tremendous influence on automotive history, then read this book. If you ...

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About these Classics
In 1963 Chevrolet did a major redesign of the Corvette to create what's called the C2. The C2, produced in only five years from 1963 to 1967 is a classic Corvette. This was the Sting Ray, and this is the definitive book on the car.
It is a profusely illustrated book that describes the car from every aspect: colors, options, chassis, body, engines, suspension, steering, brakes and a ...
