C5 Books?
I've had my car for a year now and have enjoyed/learned a lot from you folks. As I'm pretty sure it's a keeper (and I come from a Mustang background), I was wondering what good books are out there. Looking for general history/trivia type stuff. I need something to put in my den with ally Stang books, thanks.

Books on overall Corvette history:
"Corvette 50 Years" by Randy Leffingwell... I really liked this book!
"Corvette From the Inside" by Dave McLellan... In the words of an ex Corvette Chief Engineer
"The Ultimate Encyclopedia of the Corvette" by Peter Henshaw... Has some errors in information throughout the book. Still a good read
Specific to the C5:
"All Corvettes are Red" by James Schefter
"Corvette C5" by Mike Mueller... Both this book and the next were quick reads
"Corvette C5" by Patrick Paternie

Here are pictures of the books that I have in my collection. I lent my son "All Corvettes Are Red" so all I have is the dust cover for it until he finally returns it.
