Big coffee table books about famous cars are a dime a dozen, and few of them, even the cheap ones, are rarely worth their asking price. But Shelby Cars In Detail, by Frank Barrett and Boyd Jaynes, is not only one of the most expensive that we've ever seen, it's also one of the best. $149.95 buys you a massive book presenting 26 significant machines from the Shelby American Collection. Each chapter is devoted to a single car, and combines Frank Barrett's concise but complete history of the machine, with Boyd Jaynes' gorgeous full color photography. It's heaven in a book for serious Shelby fans, and one that we'd love to see on a coffee table or book shelf of our own.
