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... more info
Wow!:
If you're a porsche junkie like me (own 2 of them now), this book is a must for drooling purposes
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.
