Default Looked briefly at the book...impressed

Saw the book at Monterey. Very expensive looking, high quality printing. Will help a lot guide those who want to make their replica Cobra look "period"

In the expanded edition, I only had a minute but seemed to me black and white repdocution wasn't up to the fine standard of the color.

Anyhow, I think this is the way Cobra books will go, toward the $100 coffee table books. I even saw a new book at Monterey that was $1000, that was on an obscure French car and had a die cast metal cover atop the regular hardcover.

I am now reading Sports Car Racing in Camera, but didn't get to any Cobra photos yet but if they are there, I will do a report on it here. The concept is to use old color pictures not seen before on the theory that photographers shot color back then but didn't use it because most car magazines were b & w.
