Customer Reviews
- The best Camaro book!
- Avg. Customer Rating: 5 Stars
- This book is the softcover version of another book by the same author.
There are several books on the history of Camaro but I chose this one.
My choice paid off when I received this book.With plenty of photographs throughout covering the various models and plenty of interesting information as well,this book impressed me.
The only fault I could find was too many photographs of the same cars instead of several examples of each model.Apart from that this book is the best. - Very interesting book

- First of all, this book is fascinating to read. It contains a lot of interesting facts and nice stories you will love. Besides, it is full of great pictures (some of them are real stunning shots). The only thing that disappointed me a little - there are too many new cars in this book. I would prefer to see more rare models from the late sixties/early seventies instead. But that's my personal opinion. For those looking for the performance specials, I would recommend a nice book written by Jason Scott and David Newhardt. Its title speaks for itself: "Camaro Z28 and Performance Specials". You may also like to buy both of them. They are worth it!
- The best Camaro book I've found!
- Avg. Customer Rating: 5 Stars
- This book is well-organized and well-written. The author knows the subject matter and it shows! The information is pretty comprehensive and details everything you'd want to know about the Camaro's distinguished history (from 1966 to 2000)--R&D, engine design, options available, marketing, sales, etc. Hundreds of detailed color photos are also provided.
Another plus about this book is the fact that there was an editor! I can't recall finding any misspelled words, errors in grammar, or misinformation. A book this "clean" is such a rarity nowadays!
Personal note: I purchased the hardcover edition of this book and, while very nice and durable, I found it difficult to read because of its size (10.25" x 10.25" x 0.5"). If you're only interested in reading the material versus using the book as a reference piece, I would recommend getting the paperback edition. - Realy good and realy angry !!
