I Published My First Car Book and the Corvette Community Went Wild
At PrintingCenterUSA, we love seeing creators turn their ideas into polished print pieces that inspire, inform, and spark conversations. Daniel Hall of 1001 Property Solutions LLC did exactly that with Mr. Dart, a vibrant 8 x 8 photo book that celebrates Corvette culture and the automotive stories that bring people together.
Daniel’s project began as a personal creative endeavor but quickly grew into something bigger. The book resonated with car lovers, collectors, and even dealership teams who saw it as the perfect gift for new Corvette buyers.
About Daniel Hall and Mr. Dart
Daniel is a long-time automotive enthusiast with a passion for documenting the design, craftsmanship, and community that define the Corvette world. His book blends rich photography with storytelling that highlights the legacy and excitement surrounding the iconic brand.
During a recent Vette show, Daniel hosted a book signing where attendees got to see Mr. Dart up close. The response was enthusiastic. People connected with the visuals, the story, and the heart behind the project.
Daniel shared photos from the event, thrilled to see readers interacting with the book in person.
The Challenge
Daniel needed a printing partner who could bring his vision to life with vivid color accuracy, premium materials, and a professional finish suitable for collectors and car enthusiasts.
This project required clean detail throughout all 38 pages, a sturdy perfect bound spine, and a glossy, high quality feel that would make the book a true keepsake.
The book also needed to look consistent across all copies so Daniel could confidently present it at events and to potential retail partners.
Shortly after the book signing, a new challenge emerged. Corvette salespeople expressed interest in purchasing copies to give to customers. Daniel suddenly needed quotes for larger print runs of 100 and 200 copies at the most competitive pricing possible. You know we were there to help!

Daniel chose PrintingCenterUSA to print his first run of Mr. Dart, and together we created a polished, gallery-style book that stands out at any show or dealership.
