Correct, Steve is mentioned a few times and held in very high regard.

Does anyone know where I can buy the book? Would love to read it but I'm out of the circle of love in Canada.

Amazon.ca
I figured it would bounce around here then we could offer it up North or over to the UK/Europe. Just didn't think it would make sense to keep mailing it internationally back and forth.

also try half.com and ebay

The 964 public library is a great idea. I checked through some of my Porsche lit to offer them on here as well only to find that many of the books could be purchased for under five dollars including shipping. This title however, especially in hardback, seems to have strong demand and limited production. As such, I picked one up today on ebay from Rothsport.

Not to hijack - but is anyone aware of any similar titles that would benefit from being part of our public library?

Carrera 4 Allrad is no longer in print and is available used on amazon (hardcover) for under $15 - my copy isn't leaving my coffee table

How about signing your name (and RL handle) on the inside cover before you pass it on?
It would be neat to see it filled with Rennlist signatures!

I already started that, and 'forged' the signature of my 911SC friend..

Ok, got it at the beginning of the week and finished it today. Need the address for the next in line.
Thanks so much Laker!! I enjoyed the book, it made me feel a bit better about some of my misadventures while turning wrenches on my 911s (no long gone) and now my 964.
