I have three that I like. One is just titled Shelby Cobras, another the Shelby Cobra Gold Portfolio, and the third Shelby Mustangs. The Gold Portfolio is just a book of news articles that the reporters that traveled with Shelby Racing wrote back when they were racing but give some good insight to some of the stuff they did. Even to the fake headboards at one track saying, "Corvettes RIP"

I have several Shelby Cobra books in my collection, but my favorites are the three books by Trevor Legate, Mike Shoen's Cobra-Ferrari Wars, and the SAAC registry (for reference). I also enjoy the Brookland Books magazine article compilations. I don't have the Cobra Daytona Coupe book from Dave Friedman et al. not have I ever seen it, but I hear it's a great book too.
Search this site for a "bilbliography." Many others to choose from.

My number one Cobra book is "Cobra- The Real Thing" by Trevor Legate. I am waiting for his next one to come out.

Trevor has another Cobra book out since then. It's called "Cobra: The First 40 Years" and it's another great book from him, very informative and filled with great photos.

Shoen's "Cobra Rerrari Wars" is a great book! I have an original signed by Shoen and Carrol. I've read it at least three times. Great insight into things back then. If you look for it, try to find the original printing. They did an edited version later that took out some of Shoen's more direct commentary.
