DESCRIPTION:
Three Stars ollientn a legend. A book in search of a proofreader! 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 wo. Patricia A. Rivers said Shelby. 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.
