Corvette: Chevrolet's Supercar, by Randy Leffingwell, is another addition to a lengthy list of books about Corvettes. I looked back at some of the ones I am have read and liked and found that this one does indeed add to the discussion, so is worth adding to your library if you're a Corvette lover.

I have only ever owned one Corvette and while I enjoyed it I am not what one would consider a true Corvette fan. So for this book to engage me and keep my interest speaks to both the appeal of the pictures as well as the approach Leffingwell takes. This volume covers the model in all of its many incarnations, not zooming in on one specific aspect or concept like many more narrowly focused books. Yet depth is not sacrificed in achieving this breadth.

This edition will satisfy everyone from the most dedicated Corvette fan to the casual car lover who by extension loves a car like the Corvette. This will also interest both the readers who want some engineering insight as well as the reader interested in public reception and marketing. All in all a very informative book with wonderful pictures, many of which are newly published.
