Default Carrera MFI 2.7 book

Has anyone read the recent Ryan Snodgrass book on the Carrera 2.7 MFI ?
I like the look of it, having recently bought one of the cars, but it is a lot of money for a book, so wondered if there was any feedback available before I take the plunge.
I appreciate the price reflects the massive work involved and the limited market, so I'm not complaining about the expense, just looking for feedback!

Thanks- yes - coverage I've since seen on another forum seems universally and enthusiastically positive.

I pre-ordered one and got it mid-December. Outstanding book, lots of detailed pics that would apply to all 911 of that period. Worth every penny.

Excellent, high quality book. They've been sold out since mid-December but more coming sometime in January.
