Thumbs up Brian Long's Porsch 928 Book
Just got the book today from Amazon. WOW!!!! It is like **** for a 928 owner. What a wonderful book... the 928 concept section is beyond words. I can't wait to read the entire book.

Yep, I saw James Morrison's copy at our GTG on Saturday and ordered mine as soon as I got home.

A really nice book ... much better value at $42 than 'Project 928' IMHO ...

The writer and photographer for "Project 928" were there during the development of the 928. They were given access that the press did not.
To me, that is invaluable, IMHO.

Been reading good praises about this book. Will need to pick it up.

Nicole,

Just ordered a copy from your site. Less costly than Amazon, even with free Amazon PRIME shipping! What a deal.

Note: Amazon's "Used" copies are at $64, which might be a sign that the original printing is running out, so buy now--from Nicole!

This month's Hemmings Sports & Exotics (December 2010), in the book section, features this book. Lists its price at $69.95, and has a nice little write up.

On a side note, the magazine also features the 951 in its monthly feature car. Kind of a hokey article the way it is written - not like I've seen other peices written, including the 928 awhile back that was featured.
