Corvette Book Question

[Kurt B.]

In 1976 Michael Bruce Associates published a series of books titled Corvette-The Sensuous American. They were issued three times per year.
Can someone please tell me how many issues were published in total; how many years?
Thank you,
Kurt

Re: Corvette Book Question

From the Corvette Blackbook website:

In its early years, the company sold books only at the retail level. Its first product offering was a series of nine hardbound Corvette books called Corvette! The Sensuous American. These were published at the rate of three per year during the years of 1976, 1977 and 1978 and sold directly to customers by subscription only. A second series of nine similar books was published in 1983, 1984 and 1985. The eighteen Corvette! The Sensuous American books were sold to subscribers with a no-reprint guarantee to improve the likelihood of value appreciation. The books are bought and sold today primarily between private individuals.

Re: Corvette Book Question

Jin, any idea what they are worth now?

Re: Corvette Book Question

No idea whatsoever. I've only bought one, because I was collecting literature on my car, and I'm sure I paid way too much for it on ebay.

Rats. I was going to list mine on e-bay but have no idea of the value.

Re: Corvette Book Question

Just did a quick ebay search for completed items. One sold recently for $13.28, a set of three sold for $49.99 (about $16 each).

I'd hold on to them for a while.
