  ...
  This two-volume, leather- clad, limited-edition set includes Zora Arkus - Duntov: The Legend Behind Corvette, by Jerry Burton, and Corvette from the Inside, by Dave McLellan.
  ...
  Burton is the founding editor and current editorial director of GM's Corvette house organ, Corvette Quarterly.He has written many advertisements for the car as senior copy editor of the Campbell-Ewald advertising agency and was on the board of directors of the National Corvette Museum.Burton's passionate involvement with the Corvette allowed him to develop an admiration-based friendship with Duntov in Duntov's later years.Perhaps it's not surprising, then, that Burton was personally chosen by Duntov to write the engineer's life story.
  
  The author covers Duntov's life from his birth in Brussels to his youth in St. Petersburg, Russia; from his young adulthood in Berlin to his emigration to France; from his escape from the encroaching chaos of World War II to his fated permanency in a second homeland, the United States.
  ...
  Burton found the original letter in Duntov's archives and reproduces it for readers to enjoy.
  ...
  Burton then leads readers through the early years of Duntov's career and the evolution of the C1 Corvette: Duntov's recommendation to drop a V-8 into the car for the '55 model year; his well publicized, record-breaking 1955 speed climb of Pike's Peak, Colorado (amazingly performed not in a Corvette but in two specially prepared Chevy 210s); the first publicized 150-mph Corvette, which Duntov test-drove at the GM Proving Grounds in December 1955 (and rocketed down the beach at Daytona at 150.583 mph in January 1956); and the creation of the indisputably famous "Duntov" cam, which helped make these high speeds possible.
  
  Burton then delivers an excellent chapter on the Corvette SS, "Zora's first purpose-built race car at General Motors."This SS, Burton tells us, was most notable for the way it inspired Chevrolet's design, engineering, and development teams to challenge prevailing notions of what was possible in the domestic sports-car world.
  ...
  Burton was able to find many of Duntov's original memoranda to the Chevy brass, including a note to Chevy chief engineer Harry Barr in April 1962.
  ...
  With access to the Duntov family's entire collection of letters, artifacts, and photos, Jerry Burton brings together this Corvette legend's full story with 24 in-depth chapters, 419 pages, over 200 vintage photographs, and an extensive, well-cited bibliography.

  What makes Jerry Burton's new book, Corvette, America's Sports Car--Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow a standout from others in this crowded market is that, not only does it have a selection of gorgeous photographs and drawings from the General Motors archives and other sources, some of which have never before been published in a book, but it also has text which tells a comprehensive story drawn from exclusive interviews with the many engineers and designers who defied conventional thinking in creating America's Sports Car.With unparalleled richness, the book explores Corvette, both in terms of its design, engineering, and racing genealogy, as well as its impact on people and popular culture.Another reason this title is just a cut above similar works?While the technical aspects of the car receive some coverage, thankfully Burton didn't get bogged-down in nuts-and-bolts, gearhead issues which can be the kiss-of-death in a book like this.
  
  A big part of why this book's appeal is so strong is that Jerry Burton brings significant journalistic credentials and Corvette expertise to the table.He's the founding Editor of prestigious "Corvette Quarterly" magazine and was just reappointed to a second term as Editor after spending several years in other capacities at the magazine's publisher, Campbell-Ewald Publishing.
  ...
  Jerry has knack for focusing on the emotion and the mystique of the Chevrolet Corvette which is near unmatched in automotive journalism and it shows in this title.
  
  Of course it's eye candy which makes or breaks a coffee table book.While such works can be successful with only average writing quality, they are failures when the pictures are anything less than excellent and Corvette, America's Sports Car has no shortage of exquisite images.In fact, you'd better have this book actually on a coffee table because those reading it will leaf-through the first few pages, then want to put their coffee cups down and begin to view the book's imagery intently.
  
  Jerry Burton's writing, his insightful selection of photographs and drawings and the publisher's execution of the coffee table book style makes for an outstanding Corvette reading experience.
