Default 944 Books

Any recommendations on good reference books for the 944? Looking for a history/buyer's guide book.

I'm also interested in technical books. Not a big fan of Hayne's books. Does Bentley make a 944 book? I searched but couldn't find any.

One of the best if not the best is the "Original 924/944/968" volume by Peter Morgan from MBI publishers. YMMV.

My local borders has a 924/944 history type book sitting on the shelves. I cant remember the name or title though. As far as repair manuals go you have 2 choices, haynes and factory manuals. Its too bad Bentley doesnt make one, I have their manual for my GTI and its great! The factory manual is $600 if you can find a new one, used doesnt sell for much less than that. Check your PM.

I went to Borders and searched their computers for 944 related books. There were several, but none were in stock and you had to order them. I didn't feel like waiting...

Great pics, options decoder, numbers produced. The Brian Long book is good as well. The 944 Ultimate Portfolio is a good book as it collects articles on the 944 and it's variations from the car rags of the time.
