Is the book, Corvette: 60 years?
I was curious since that book was just released.

I looked online in their store and the one I see listed is :
Corvette: America's Sports Car. On sale for $22.46.

Either one, prob a great add on to any book collection!

My wife just bought me 'Corvette- Americas Sports Car'- she didn't tell me where she got it- but it is a beautiful book. It covers 1953 to present, has great pictures of all 6 generations- buy one if you get a chance!

I am twiddling my thumbs until February until I pull the trigger on a C6 (per this forums much appreciated advice) and was wondering if anyone had a good coffee table book that covers a large amount of the C6? On top of reading this forum, i'd like to get to know the whole history behind the car and its designers. Any advice would be much appreciated, and here are some that i've seen online. Lastly (I promise), is there a good magazine subscription that anyone recommends? (again, hopefully heavy on the C6?)
