Due to Edsell's editing background, it's a good read --Street Rodder
Product Description
Tom Barrett had a 1933 Cadillac V-16 Town Car he wanted to sell; Russ Jackson came to see it. How this simple meeting between two car buffs in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 1960 started what would someday be the most prestigious collector car auction in the world is the story told in "Barrett-Jackson: The Standard for Classic and Collector Cars". Highlighting the most important collector cars ever offered, with unique photographs of the cars, this book follows the unfolding of a life-long friendship and business partnership from the start in 1960, to the legendary "Fiesta del los Autos Elegance" in 1967 to present-day high-tech family-run business, it is a story of success built on passion for collector cars.

Barrett-Jackson - Great cars across the block
15 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Barrett-Jackson, maybe more than any other auctioneer or even Car Guy, has done a whole lot to promote the market for classic cars.
This book is a nice collection of cars that have gone across the Barrett-Jackson Block, if yet another attempt to promote the Classic Car market.
There are plenty high quality pictures of muscle cars, as to be expected of Barrett-Jackson, as well as a sampling of earlier cars from the 40's and 50's. Even Woodies, like the one featured in Rock of Morro Bay are represented.
This is a really enjoyable book for car lovers and for those of us who sit glued to our TV a couple times a year as Barrett-Jackson televises its newest auction of the season live for all to see.

A Car Collector's Bible
31 July 2009
Format:Hardcover
I took the plunge and witnessed the auction in person last year. This book brings back some great memories. It's the next best thing to being there. The movie actually went far deeper into detail than I had expected. Not only the coverage of the great cars and the eccentric characters behind each of them and the hobby; you also get the full history of the auction, and some of the more fascinating stories over the last twenty years as it has evolved. Barrett Jackson has transformed from Ferraris to muscle cars as of late. Great book with crisp and stunning photography throughout.
I'd also recommend Million-Dollar Muscle Cars: The Rarest and Most Collectible Cars of the Performance Era.
