Now that you've built a better coffee table (and have Mike Mueller's book--mentioned previously--on it), here's another one to grace it with--from a familiar name here at Corvette Fever.

For Better Coffee Tables Only (Continued)

In a smaller size than The Complete Book Of Corvette, but no less a must-read for Corvette
historians and lovers alike is Tom Benford’s Corvette Gallery. Don’t let its size fool
you—there’s a veritable gold mine of information spread out on its 192 pages, especially in
its color photography by James Mann.

In one sense, it’s like the Guinness Book of World Records—a book whose contents ends arguments before they start. That’s along with plenty of  “I didn’t know that!” information, like the story behind the 1983 Corvette and why the EX-122 prototype Corvette that was built in 1952 has a V-8 in it.

It’s also a good book to pack and take with if you’re going Corvette-shopping—it makes a great companion to Mike Antonick’s Corvette Black Book (The must-read of all must-read, year-by-year Corvette reference guides).

Plus, you’ve read Tom’s writings here and in Corvette Fever Magazine for a long time. Isn’t that reason enough?
