If you're considering the Corvette Black Book as an informative look at the history of the vehicle, you're looking at more of a Corvette "Table of Contents."I believe the Black Book is intended for buyers, investors and collectors as a guide to determine authenticity, numbers matching, etc, on the fly, such as at a car show or auction. That's why it's sized to fit into one's pocket.The Complete Book of Corvette: Every Model Since 1953 is by Mike Mueller, an author who has written many highly informative books on Corvette.Though the book is listed as a paperback, I was surprised to find this book had covers more like cardboard - about the thickness of the back of a pad of paper - sort of in between paperback and rigid hardcover.And heavy! This 368 page book weighs over three pounds! The revised & updated version goes to the 2011 model.This is the most informative book on Corvette I have ever seen. Nearly every page pair has about three photographs - most in color. But before you think this is a picture book, there is also a ton of stories and data about each year of the 'Vette. Even all the specialty experimental, CERVs, racers and Makos are written up in the chronological order they appeared within the series.Think of it as the Black Book on steroids. Buy the book - you won't be disappointed..

My husband is nuts over Corvettes. Used to have one and now has Parkinson's and cannot drive. He repeatedly thanks me for getting this for him. Says it's the best book on Corvettes. Thanks for providing happiness to him.

This is the updated issue of this book by the author. The last one was written several years back. If you are a Corvette aficionado or just really like the car, this book is about as good as it gets. It covers every year the Corvette has been produced from 1953 through mid-year 2020. It is written to be easily understood and the information is concise and complete. The great thing about this book is that it also contains a condensed version of the Corvette Black Book towards the back. So, just about anything you would want or need to know about Corvette is contained in this book. If you have an automotive library, you should consider adding this book to it.

Honored to have this book and so happy that it came today. It really made my day! The book is 320 pages in length with quality content, and made durably. Keeping it on my coffee table and glad to show it with pride!

Book was good

This Book was Bought for a Birthday Present.. so I did not review it . The Gentleman rang me to Say What A “ Wonderful Book” he was Extremely Impressed .

LIVRE TRES INTERESSANT

Para el que quiera información detallada del Corvette, este es su libro. La estructura que le ha dado el autor es más desde el punto de vista de la evolución de los modelos, aunque también está detallada la historia del coche, no tanto como en otros libros, pero tampoco es su objetivo. Incluye todas las opciones que se podían añadir en opción.

Der englischsprachige Buchmarkt bietet eine große Auswahl an Bänden über die Chevrolet Corvette, deren siebte Generation C7 in diesen Tagen auf der Detroit Motor Show vorgestellt wird. Dieses Werk von Mike Mueller ist ein aktuelles, vollständiges und lohnendes Kompendium. Mit großer Akribie wird die Geschichte der Corvette von 1953 bis 2011 durch alle sechs bisherigen Generationen nachgezeichnet. Es ist schon bemerkenswert, dass da aus den USA ein reinrassiger Sportwagen kommt, dessen Tradition zehn Jahre länger ist als die des Porsche 911. Früher in Europa manchmal eher belächelt, gehört die Corvette inzwischen zu den weltweit anerkannten und mittlerweile auch technisch anspruchsvollen Zweisitzern. Mueller beschreibt den Werdegang der Corvette chronologisch, stellt die technischen Details genauso dar wie die Fortschreibung des charakteristischen Designs und geht auch auf die motorsportlichen Aktivitäten von General Motors mit der Corvette ein. Die technischen Daten jedes Modelljahres werden zudem jeweils in einer Tabelle festgehalten. Eine ausführliche Übersicht über die Preisentwicklung des Sportwagens inklusive der Sonderausstattungen schließt das Buch ab. War die Corvette anfangs für 2.774,- $ zu bekommen, so kostete die Spitzenvariante 2011 in den USA 110.750,- $. Das kompakte Nachschlagewerk ist mit rund 700 Abbildungen hervorragend illustriert; die Unterstützung des Archivs von General Motors war dabei erkennbar hilfreich.
