Default Question about early corvette news magazine

Has anyone seen volumes of these in hardbound books. For example volume 5 would be all the corvette news mags from 1963 and 1964. Thanks for any help

I've never seen anything like that, or remember seeing a listing for a hardbound edition in any old Corvette News magazines.

The only hardbound Corvette News I'm aware of is the book published in 1976 by Automobile Quarterly, "The Best of Corvette News". It was a compilation of Corvette News articles, going back to Volume 1, Number 1.

The only bound book I know is:
Amazon Amazon
I got a copy about 25 years ago at Hershey - it's a good read.

People and libraries used to have their magazines bound if they were going to keep them. I suppose it still can be done today.

Unless GM had those done for internal distribution it's likely that executive did it and they're a one-off. You won't find bindings that match that if you find any others at all.

Your best bet is ebay.

I also have that, bought when it was new; the Good Lord only knows where it is around here now...
