Wow!: If you're a porsche junkie like me (own 2 of them now), this book is a must for drooling purposes
Very nice, but there is more.....: Having just received the book yesterday, I have not spent much time beyond thumbing through. I see beautiful photos and I'm feeling it may be cabrio-centric. There are Porsches that spend their lives in the garage....photogenic beauties with 3-digit odometer readings, many, if not most, cabrios......and then there are the Porsches that are driven, almost always coupes....The experience of driving to the limit is what makes a Porsche a Porsche. It is what it does better than anything...the good looks are just the icing on the cake. We all will love this book, regardless.
Review of the Porsche 911: This book was certainly an interesting read. It provided some good insight into the history of the Porsche 911 and the innovations that were made. I was somewhat disappointed however in that I was hoping the book would tell me what was good or bad about a particular model; it didn't. I also would have liked photos of the models being discussed incorporated with the text. Overall, I enjoyed the book and better understand the decisions made by Porsche as the company matured.
Excellent book: I bought this book for my husband he he loves it. He is planning to buy one for a friend also.
Absolutly Brilliant Book, Worth Every Penny: This book has stunning photography and amazing writing. It provides a comprehensive, but not exhaustive history on Porsche's development. The book flows from topic to topic beautifully, making for a engaging read. This has been the best Porsche book I have read, and it was worth every penny. I would reccomend it to anyone who wants to learn more about Porsche, about its development as a company, about its amazing racing heritage, and about the making of the most captivating road car in the world. The Porsche 911.
