For instance, how many pages of text accompany each car pictured or is there so little text you could say they are "long captions?" David Bull published more than 100 books. He died as a result of injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident.

Led by renowned driver and tuner Carroll Shelby, in the 1960s the Shelby American company created three iconic cars: the Cobra, the GT40, and the GT350. Using stunning original studio photographs by Boyd Jaynes and authoritative text by automotive historian Fran Barrett, Shelby Cars in Detail profiles a fascinating array of cars form the Shelby American Collection, Shelby's official museum. They include the Cobra's predecessor, the A.C. Ace-Bristol; race and street variants of 289 and 427 Cobras; the Daytona and Willment Coupes; the GT40 and innovative, high-tech Ford Mk IV J-Car; and the earlies GT350.

Shelby Cars in Detail presents the chassis histories of each of these fascinating cars, leading the reader through their individual specifications, provenance, and racing performances. Along with such well-known Shelby drivers as Ken Miles, Bob Bondurant, Dan Gurney, and Mario Andretti, the book also shares the racing exploits of fascinating independents, including Bob Johnson, Tom Payne, Dan Gerber, and Tommy Hitchcock.

The individual features of each Shelby car are displayed to even greater effect through the dynamic studio photography of Boyd Jaynes. His immaculately composed pictures reveal the tiniest facets of engines, bodywork, and cockpit components, as well as providing full views of each model."

The book is still on their website

for full price. Maybe the seller on ebay thinks someone really wants it bad so they jacked the price. But it's not like they are sold out--they're waiting for copies. If you just want a book for the words and pictures and can take a missing slip cover or a bit of dirt, ebay sometimes lists those used books...
