Guest kaycee Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I want to get a good history of Buick book. Any suggestions? And where to purchase? Want to get a gift.I have a Seventy Years of Buick book, and it's a excellent hardcover book. I can't sell mine, but see if you can find one maybe on e-Bay. It's 350 pages and covers all models from the early 1900's through 1973 with pictures of all the body styles and a lot of info. kaycee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kaycee Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I just checked on this book. Amazon wants about $135.00 ,and there's one on e-Bay for $98.00 +$4.00 shipping. On e-Bay, just type in Seventy years of Buick, and it'll turn up as a "Buy it Now". Expensive gift, but well worth it if you have a good friend. I'm glad that I purchased mine when they were stil in print! kaycee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Stock Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 The Buick: A Complete History by Dunham & Gustin. There are several editions and the 6th edition, 2005, is the last so far as I know. In my view it is the benchmark for Buick history.Amazon has a used for $99.95 + $3.95.I didn't realise my copy is so valuable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Eaton Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) The Buick, A Complete History is the one you want for history of the make. If you interest is more for the technical specs, for each year, Krause Publications "Standard Catalog of Buick" is a soft bound book. The one I have is the 3 edition and goes from 1903 to 2004, there may be a later version. They go by KP Books and the cover price was $24.95Just checked Krause online and did not find the above book, it may be out of print. They do have spec books for assorted year Buicks.

Bob Engle Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Unless you really must have the info from 1987 and newer, you want to get a first or second edition. The newer version has been produced from scans of the earlier book and then produced on a quick print press. The quality of the book is not as good on the newer edition.
