Default Spiral Bound 911 Buyers Guide

Does anyone remember a spiral bound 911 buyers guide from the late 90's? I

had one back then, probably out of date now, but I remember it as great

reading.

Any chance Peter Zimmermann's book was spiral bound back then? He is on edition 8 or 9 now.

It was a buyers guide, not from Porsche. I have a pretty recent edition of Peter's book, I think it was from a different author.

My 5th Edition of The Used 911 Story was spiral bound, but I can't put my hands on a copy right now. The early '90s (the 4th Edition printed in '83 and had a long run) sounds about right.

That's it! We thought that the cover quote was something we had to use because being recognized by Christophorus Magazine (Porsche) was really cool! We carried that quote forward to the 6th Edition as well.

ice; which edition do you have?
