What can I say. CarTech books in my opinion are absolutely the best and this is another great example. This is a pretty cool little book(smaller physically than a lot of CarTec books) but it's loaded with 351 pages of 1001 corvette facts that would intrigue any corvette owner and probably a lot of other CAR guys/gals. The only drawback in my opinion is there are no color photos, a fair amount of black/white pics but they dont trip my trigger.
CarTech keep cranking out the great books! ( )

I was actually a little disappointed in the book. First off, I am not a huge Corvette fan and have never owned one, but I do have an interest in automobiles and their history in general.
First off, the book is nicely organized with each chapter broken into five sections: Legend and Lore, Body and Interior, Engine and Driveline, Suspension and Brakes, and Number crunching and Press Commentary. Each Chapter covers a specific group of models. The first and last sections were the most interesting for me as a lay reader. The middle three sections were often dealing with numbers of models with a certain type of engine, etc., which generally lost my attention rather quickly. There was quite a bit of trivia which would be useful to take to your Corvette club meetings to stump fellow enthusiasts, but much of it was lost on me.
The Facts of the title are simply the paragraphs in the book, each new paragraph is a new "Fact."
There are NO colored photos in the book and very few pictures of Corvettes. Most of the pictures are closeups of engine detail, dashboard buttons, tail pipes, etc, to emphasize a "fact." The book would be much improved with color photos of the models being discussed, or some of the variants discussed, but they are not to be found. Cost of course is an issue, but I have seen many similarly priced auto books FILLED with color glossies of cars, so I don't really see the issue.
So, not an easy quick read, but interesting for some trivia for Corvette enthusiasts. ( )

If you love Corvettes then this is a great book to add to your collection! It reads like short snippet of info but there are chapters to separate important changes that the corvette went through so if you are looking for something specific, it's not too hard to find. Even though I am not a know-it-all when it comes to cars, I have always loved the corvette! Steve writes in a very entertaining style but watch out, you're going to learn some new things too! I recommend this book to all fans of corvettes, no matter what year, and to those who love cars in general and want to know more about corvettes. ( )

From beginning to end, this one is filled with fun and interesting facts. It's great to read slowly overtime, either front to back or focusing on the reader's favorite model of 'vette. Cartech has done it again with another winner in their 1001 Facts genre.

I won this book via LibraryThing. ( )

Very fun book! It's not the kind of book you'll want to sit down and read cover to cover, but it's the perfect book to have available for quick dips when you have the time. And it is packed with amazing facts. I imagine even the biggest of Corvette fans will discover surprising things in this book. ( )
