Talking The Ultimate History Of Porsche

I just purchased "The Ultimate History of Porsche" at the Barnes & Noble here in Birmingham. It's one of those oversized coffee table top books, published by Parragon Publishing, in the UK. A really cool looking book, and a must have for any Porsche enthusiast! The best part, the price: $12.95!!! This is a book that probably retailed for $45.00 to $50.00. There is a pile of them at the store I went to!!! Not sure if all Barnes & Noble are selling for the same price. Just tought you guys would like to know this...

Thanks! That is one that I actually don't have. They have it online at their website for the same price. Since I ordered something else with it, I got free shipping, should be here in a few days!

I got it from my sister... I especially love the section "Model In Focus" on the Turbos (pg103).

"That's why it remains one of the greatest Porsches, even if it was never one of the most loved." Yuuuup!

Best part about thoughs book are if you can get them cheap you can cut out the high quality pictures take them to kinkos and get nice posters made out of them. Did that for my room.
