Thank you (!), and it has been great to have Palevsky back in print—and every aspect of 000. That was a particularly fun edit, and his writing is deceptively complete.

Again, all Alex. Glad you dug it!
Will do, and the T is a rule breaker in this: I normally encourage people who will have more than one Porsche in the garage to pursue contrasts so that each provides a different experience that amplifies the other—but the 991.2 Carreras are at once unlike twin-turbocharged 911s like your GT2 and very much twin-turbocharged 911s. Delivery is highly NA (and nowhere more so than the Carrera/T) if you drive it like an NA car, but the 3.0's turbocharged nature is apparent if you drive it like a turbo car.

And the T's chassis is sublime for road work.

We're a print-only affair in a digital world, but we're mulling some year-by-year "catchup" sets due to demand. No promises, as the threshold to fire up the presses isn't a low bar, but we get a lot of requests and it's on our radar.

Really enjoyed his piece in the current issue of 000 on the 992 C2S vs 991.2 GTS. Of course, the editing was fabulous, as always! ;-)

For Christ,

@stout , thanks for responding sir.

Stout,
Does your publication have hardback issues for certain editions? Example, if I wanted 006 in hardback is that available? Thanks!

stout

Alex is a genius…which always makes the edit easier—and more fun.

You are most welcome!

The hardcover S editions are only available in sets—as selling one means we end up with three S editions with a matching "VIN" number we can't sell—in an expensive aluminum slipcase to boot. Not my lane, but I believe the back stock of S sets varies by year and is down to single or very low double digits for Year 1 and is tight for Year 3 as well (probably due in part to which issues are sold out in soft-cover). I believe Year 2 (2018) S sets are the most plentiful, but we're still talking about fairly low numbers.

One of the things we wanted to avoid—with both the soft- and hardcover editions—was the storage of back issues Alex and I saw at previous magazines we've worked on. We wanted to put those dollars into the product rather storing it, whether on site or at a printer's warehouse. I've seen those fees, and have personally dumped many boxes of back issues into dumpsters, which felt insanely wasteful both in terms of $$ and the environment (the newsstand is even worse when it comes to waste…). As a result, we only print a little more than we have customers for. The trick is figuring out the right qty as people are still discovering 000 and we're finding some customers want complete sets. Unfortunately, the bar to firing up the press again—particularly for multiple issues—is very high. We're still evaluating this.

Best way here is to inquire via 000magazine.com/contact/ as you'll reach a real human who can answer your questions. We are still small enough that we can sometimes accommodate special requests, so it can't hurt to ask.

Pete, thanks for great insight! Time to go find one for a drive

I think the best approach is to get 'em while you can, that's what I've been doing. I witnessed very early on after discovering 000 that waiting even a week meant those early issues were gone. I sorely regret it now and when an issue is available with content I desire, I order it on the spot.

Wife gave me 006 today for Father’s Day. As a T owner, I’m looking forward to reading it. 8 year old Daughter gave me a coffee mug that says, “worlds greatest farter, father”. Oh well. Very nice magazine.

Still looking for #10 to complete my full set. Anyone who received #9, #10 and #11 from PCNA and is prepared to sell #10, please PM me.

If cgurnew gets lucky, please consider me #2. I'm in the same boat.. no paddle. I've got ALL BUT #10 and would love to have a copy. If your dog ate most of a copy of #10 I'm still game. I love the beautiful presentation of these books but I'm mostly concerned with the content.

stout

Not saying we will do it, but…

We continue to evaluate 000 "catchup" sets offered by year, possibly with a slipcase included. The obvious years to address are those that are sold out. Prototyp is the only issue we've said we won't reproduce in soft-cover. The product would have subtle signifiers as to its status as a second printing, much as books do and the sole reprint to date—for Issue 001—did (subtle hint on the spine, and then marked as second printing on the inside front cover). Alternative would be to move to a lesser level of printing (still good, but not as nice as the originals). We don't at all mind that those who took the plunge on 000 have seen the value of their purchase hold up, but we don't love the idea that they're so hard to get that they either can't be had or the pricing is many multiples.

The sticking point is barrier to entry, as it's a big-ticket threshold. Curious for customer thoughts around this.

I'm still eyeing the slipcase box sets, but it's just too much of a luxury for me right now. Plus, I really don't have a use for the model sculpture that comes with it. I know it's nice and I wouldn't mind it, but it's not necessary for me. Having said that, I think having an online subscription may work here. I may get shot for saying this, but I think it would please the folks who don't care about collecting and just want to read the articles. Just a thought. I do get that having the large format print and a physical magazine (book) is much nicer, but....it's an alternative solution.

stout

Ah, I should have been clearer: This wouldn't be reprints of 000 S (the hardbound copies with the aluminum slipcase), this would be reprints of the soft-cover 000 with the softcover slipcase (which is nice, but not aluminum and soft-lined).

So, the regular version of 000 plus this slipcase or one like it: https://www.000magazine.com/shop/softcover-slipcase/ (While we lost our vendor for the soft-cover slipcase to C-19, hence the current "sold out," we've found another supplier...and the samples are even nicer imo.)

No comment here as I give my 000s to other enthusiasts, on top of having purchased more than a few 000 gift subscriptions for additional enthusiasts. Trying to spread the 000 goodness around! Call me not a collector of fine art. ;-)

God bless,

Like the idea @stout . Was late joining 000 and would enjoy an opportunity to add to the series, even with the reprint.

Cheers.
