Vintage 'Some Basics About Corvettes' Book by Ed Radlauer

This item is a vintage softcover book titled 'Some Basics About Corvettes,' authored by Ed Radlauer. The book features a vibrant orange and earthy brown cover design. The title 'CORVETTES' is prominently displayed in a large, sans-serif font in a lighter orange on the primary orange background, with 'Some Basics About' written above it in a smaller, cursive-like script. A classic silver-grey Corvette, likely a C3 generation model from the late 1960s or early 1970s, is centrally depicted on the cover, viewed from the front quarter angle, adding to its vintage appeal. Below the car image, within another orange band, is the text 'A Corvert Book By Ed Radlauer.' The book appears to be well-used, indicating its age and handling over time. Visible condition issues include significant wear along the edges and corners of the cover, with some scuffing and discoloration, particularly along the spine and the bottom edge. The overall color saturation of the cover, while still discernible, seems to have faded slightly due to age and exposure. There are no clear visible tears or large rips, but the general appearance suggests a softcover book that has been read multiple times. The precise manufacturing details or publisher are not visible from the image, but the style, typography, and subject matter firmly place it in the collectible vintage automotive literature category, likely from the 1970s. The 'Poffe' annotation at the top of the cover might be a personal mark or signature, not part of the original publication.
