A book in search of a proofreader!
16. März 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
One of the aspects that makes this book intriguing, is that it covers the time span from just before Shelby started racing, up to the point when the new GT500's started production. The book attempts to span roughly 60 years of Shelby's life - trying to cover them in just chapters or a condensed book naturally won't cover his entire history in depth. However an admirable attempt is made.
Where this book falls short, & there is a huge weakness here, is it's quality - spelling, grammar, repeated words, use of both a current & past tense next to each other like he couldn't decide which one to use & forgot to go back & delete one of them, as well as historical & technical errors. If any book has ever called out for an editor & proofreading, this one is it! It would make the basis of a good first draft, if he had only had a proofreader or editor go over it & make the numerous corrections first.
If one can look past the poor quality & errors, it makes for some interesting reading, as long as one doesn't attempt to take it as ultimate source for Shelby info.

Shelby
30. Dezember 2007
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I bought this book for my husband, a car fanatic. He was very disappointed. He said it was poorly written, not proofread at all, and he does not recommend it. We are avid readers, owning several hundred books, and he did not like this one at all.
Get it if you are interested in Shelby but don't be disappointed by the poor quality of the writing.

One Man Made a Difference
21. April 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
In an industry dominated by multi-national corporations, rarely does one man make a difference. Yet for 50 years, Carroll Shelby has continued to have an impact on the automotive world. This book chronicles his rise from a Texas chicken farmer to race car driver to auto designer, with numerous anecdotes from those who knew him best. Shelby's triumph over Europe's racing elite is the classic American success story that will fascinate even non-car buffs. But more than a story about a man, this book is about Shelby's cars, with enough information to satisfy the most fervent fan. As a reference book, it is an invaluable work for every classic car owner or wannabe owner like myself. This book is not just Shelby fan mail, however, but also covers the failures and inside deals that went with the evolution of Cobras, Dodges and the other fabulous creations that form a part of muscle car history.
