Hey car collectors! Rust is in! You have to read this book!50 Shades of Rust by Tom Cotter is not just another car book. It is exquisitely done. The cover, design, pictures and overall layout are very impressive and the color coordination with the varying shades of rust is masterful. It sounds strange, I know, but it is the kind of book you would want to display in a more prominent location than a bookshelf, so others can enjoy it cover as well as its contents.Informative as well as entertaining, 50 Shades of Rust exudes the author's deep passion for the collector car hobby as wells his great sense of humor. As I proceeded through one fascinating barn find after another, I actually learned to appreciate the artistic qualities of rust! Automotive archaeology, the author's newly coined term to describe the discovery of rare automotive finds, is a very appropriate term. Some of the finds are serendipitous, others are well-planned over a period of time. All of them came about because the car collector is inspired by the "chase". Also, there is something exhilarating about the "conquest". The actual discovery, whether it is a long abandoned classic buried under garage paraphernalia or a rusty old dinosaur hidden behind an old tractor in a farmer's barn, has the capacity to ignite the passion of anyone interested in the classic car hobby.I guarantee you will love reading this book as much as I did.

This book should be retitled "Advances Even Pay Well for C+ Work"I've purchased all the "...in the Barn" books Tom Cotter has written.  Enjoyed them immensely.  "50 Shades of Rust" is not his finest work, far from it.  While an assembly of Barn Stories, they aren't well written nor even well edited, some stories seem to stop mid-way through their retelling.  There are some messy typos which further confirm this.  An obvious sign that the publisher was rushing to get it to market.  A few of the stories were previously used in Tom's other books.  Very weak.Overall, its got a great title, a great cover photo, and a forward by Wayne Carini, but the book itself seems to have been "phoned in" to capture our dollars for a fascinating subject.  Too bad Tom put his name to this one, its not worthy.
