Default Corvette book
I saw a cool Corvette coffee table book at Border's Friday night. It was a big Corvette history book that was bound in red leather and had an actual C6 flag emblem mounted on the cover. It was $75.00 but was 20% off.

Yeah. I don't think spending $50+ bucks for a coffee table book would fly well with the missus. Not worth the fight. I have a feeling it'll wind up on the discount table with the rest of the Vette books at some point.

I picked up a copy of this from Costco for a bit over $40. It has some beautiful photographs.

It seems that all of these books wind up being $19.99 on the discount table after 3-6 months.

Another good one is "CORVETTE C6" by Phil Berg.
The whole book is about the C6.
