It isn't about Mustangs, but it is worthwhile reading for anyone who loves the cars of Carroll Shelby.  Available now - the World Registry of Cobras & GT40s - from the Shelby American Automobile Club.

If you're like most of us who have a thing for Carroll Shelby and his historic, world-beating automobiles, you're going to want to read SAAC's hot-off-the-press World Registry of Cobras & GT40s.  As you might expect from Rick Kopec and key players in SAAC, this book is world class and loaded with enough information to keep you in good toilet reading for years.

The World Registry of Cobras & GT40s is the culmination of 38 years of detailed investigative work - researching and collecting data on virtually all aspects of these cars.  It transcends the garden variety registry because it gets into current and past owners, individual histories, and each vehicle's original purpose.  This book also teaches us all about the Cobra and GT40.

Need more convincing?  How about 1,618 pages and 2,848 photographs?  When UPS delivers this guy to your door, you will need a fork lift.

Price is $225, plus shipping, and worth every dime.
