Default C7 Launch Book?

Back in 2005, for the C6 launch there was a book, sanctioned by GM, written by Phil Berg and published by Motorbooks Intl about the design, development and testing of the C6. Has anyone heard of plans for a similar book on the C7?

The National Corvette Museum is selling one also.

Corvette Stingray
BOKCORVETTEC7

Since its introduction, the Corvette has captured the imaginations and fueled the passion of American automotive enthusiasts, racers, and drivers who share a common desire for a few simple ideas: quality in their vehicles, and horsepower under their hoods. Since the Motorama debut of the C1 concept car at the Waldorf Astoria in 1951, each new generation of the Corvette has exceeded the expectations of engineers, journalists, and drivers alike.
Now, the seventh-generation Corvette is upon us. Within these pages lie hundreds of photos and stories of this historic vehicle’s development and debut. Follow noted automotive journalist Larry Edsall as he documents the history of all that came before the new Stingray, and how GM continues to react, anticipate, and forge the future of automotive excellence in its premier American sports car. From the drawing board to the Bowling Green assembly plant to Sebring, Daytona, Le Mans, and more, witness how real speed and power are imagined and then realized in the 2014 Corvette Stingray.
Just one question remains: are you ready?
Hardcover; 192 pages. 350 color photos.
Order now for early November delivery.
$40.00

I'll check the desk next time I'm in Costco. If they get it chances are good it'll be considerably less and you can walk out with it. If requested they'll order it for sure.
