Default Literature - Reading Materials ? ?

Over the years I've purchased many books on Corvettes. I'm still looking to read and learn more. Does anyone have any favorites or good recomendations of Corvette books or literature that you have liked? After reading several I've found they are very repetitious. I really like learning the differences between each of the year (all years).

I used to have subscriptions to all the Vette mags. The only one I still have is Corvette Magazine. Worth the price to me!

I think ALL CORVETTES ARE RED by James Schefter is a must read for all Corvette enthusiasts. You will be amazed by this story and how the C5 almost didn't happen. You will have a new found respect for the men and women who were running the Corvette program.
