Really enjoyed it
So, I was invited to the Porsche experience in Torrance and subsequently rented a 911. My exotic of choice for a very long time was a Lamborghini and then the Ferrari 458 Italia after an exotic driving experience where I drove a Murcielago as well as the aforementioned 458. Like many dreamers I have read about maintenance of these vehicles and appreciate they are more for show than go. Interestingly, during the exotics driving the guide in the car said the closest thing to a 458 that wasn't as expensive was a 911 4s. I got to drive one of those and that was amazing. Furthermore, a little bit of research will easily reveal that if you want to drive a sports car every day Porsche is the only option. That is good because they are amazing vehicles, after driving one for just a few hours, I read a book about them. If you care, like I do then you will enjoy this:)

Best of the 911 Books
I bought a Porsche 911 which I justified by saying bucket list. Then, of course, I had to buy accessories. Stuff like a Porsche hat, car cover, cleaning supplies, and books. I ordered a few of the 911 books and kept this and 997 book which is specific to my car. I thought this was the best of the 911 books because it is not huge and heavy and covers all the models including the pre 911 models. Another book I like is "The Gold Plated Porsche" which is available on kindle.

Nice pictures, incomplete car descriptions
My wife gave this to me. I like this book. I like these big "coffee table" style books that have nice, big high resolution pictures. However, the descriptions of the cars isn't as complete as I would like. It would appear that the author didn't (or couldn't) really do deeper dives into each car. I.e. - how the hell can I know more about some of the cars when I didn't even own those specific models? Maybe I should write a more complete book?

Nice book
This book is actually a gift for my husband this Christmas. It was very hard figuring out which one to purchase. He said he wanted a book that showed all the Porsche 911's from the beginning until current. I received this last week and looked through it and am excited for him to get it on Christmas as I think it's exactly what he wants. So excited that I now want to purchase one for my father in-law who also is a Porsche 911 enthusiast!

Everything You Need to Know At Porsche 911
What a Phenomenal Book, Randy Leffingwell capture every piece of information on a Porsche 911 since 1964, plus add phenomenal photo to match. There are 329 pages to this amazing book. What I really like is all the photo's, totally beautiful. This is a great Coffee Table book, but again a great fact book

THIS IS NOT AN INDEX/REFERENCE BOOK ON PORSCHE!
I was looking for an index style book on porsches. Something that would chronologically list each and every 911 ever made with a little paragraph and mechanical and statistical data. What I got was a very well written book and informative boook on the history of the 911 and the various models. But it's a book better read from cover to cover and not a reference guide where you can easily look up a model and year and read about that specific car. It's still a great book though and well worth the price tag.

Good quality, great pictures easy read!
I've only read a few pages and I'm loving this, simple with great pictures, good quality book. Text is simple, interesting and explanatory, no small talk and unnecessary attempt at banter, straight to the point history and small tech, perfect for anyone that wants to know their 911.Only problem is that this book ends at the 2010 model of the 911, this is 2014, needs to be updated!

Good reference book
With Porsche's 901 and later variants spanning 50 years, this book is a useful overview with high quality photography. However if you have a special interest in a specific model (i.e. 911, 912, 923, 930, 959, 964, 991, 993, 996, 997) or year, or if you are interested in the history of the Porsche company during these years, or restoration guidelines, you will need additional book(s) with expanded text and documentation.
