Default New Porsche 928 Book from the UK

I had hinted on this before, but now it can be ordered: The new 928-Book from the UK, written by the Porsche Club of Great Britain's 928 guru David Hemmings.

This is the second edition of "The Real 928", called the "World Market Edition". It now includes information on Euro, US and ROW models.



It contains 194 pages of information on the Porsche 928, including

- 928 Model Guide (all models world wide)
- Owner Reports
- Racing Stories
- 928 Variations
- 80 (!) Technical Tips
- Parts Information
Some pages are in full color.

I wrote two little stories for the book as well.

Price is $49.98.

These books are printed on demand, and I hope to get a nice big order together for the first run and shipment to the US. My goal is to deliver the books to you by the end of February.

Nicole,

Looks like a great book! Just placed my first order on your web-store and bought a few other goodies while I was there.

Thanks, everyone, for your orders!

I now have about half of the quantity of orders I need to break even. So, if you know anybody else who might be interested in this book, please spread the word...

As an added bonus, David Hemmings has offered to sign the first 50 books that go to the US.

This applies to the orders I have already received as well as to additional ones.

As "THE 928 chick" (so someone referred to me at Sharktoberfest), I'll be more than happy to do this for you!!!

Thank you Nicole, got mine on order.
It would be great if you could sign my copy too.

Not sure if you remember, but I sent you an e-mail in regards to this book last year with all the contact info for it. I was going to order some copies from the UK myself, but I figured you and your web site would be a better venue for this. Thank you for support and 928 dedication.
