Summary: Buy it for the Pictures!
Comment: Great photos (in color!) of the entire line of Firebirds and Trans Ams. However, the text and captions are far from accurate. Take what you read in it with a grain of salt. Several examples are: describing a 1981 4.9L Turbo engine while showing a picture of a 1989 20th Anniversary 3.8L Turbo engine; showing a 1992 TA but describing it as a 1993 TA; calling the 403 Olds the top engine for 1979 with 220 hp (the 400 Poncho engine was 220 hp, the Olds 185 hp); describing the 3100 engine as the V6 for the early Fourth Gen cars (3.4L actually); etc. I do recommend the book, though, for the great pictures. For a better text, buy Pontiac Firebird 1967-2000 Photo History by George Scala. This book is awesome - very accurate details of how the models changed from year to year, Firebirds, Esprits, Formulas as well as Trans Ams. The only bad thing is that the photos are in black & white.

Summary: Good pictures, bad information
Comment: This book served the purpose I was looking for - Pictures of different Firebird and Trans Am models through the model's 33 years of life. The pictures and layout are great. All pictures are full-color, and feature some beatiful cars.
However, the downside to this book is the faulty information this book contains for those that do more than just look at the pictures and captions. The author did very poor research on the changes through the years, especially in the 4th gen era, and in several cases, incorrectly identifies the year of a pictured model. Also, the book contains several glaring typographical and grammarical errors. It's a shame more attention was not given to the text, as everything else is well produced.
