If you want good reading material pick up Paul Frere's "Porsche 911 story," or the like. The $15 dollar specials mainly make good bathroom or coffee table books.

Well worth it although plain n/a's dont get as much coverage as they deserve.

Anyone know of any other mags, or recent mags that may have had 944's in them?

My dad got me that book a few months ago. I USED it as a coffee table book in my apartment, until my roommate through a party and his friends spilled beer all over it!! It just messed up that dust jacket, regardless, I am still pissed. It is a cool book. It has a short bio of Ferdinand Porsche and a condensed version of the history that is Porsche. I also love how they name the chapters, i'e' "unsung Heroes" etc. It is fun to read little by little over a cup of coffee or when you have 10 minutes to sapare every now and again. Go buy it!
