Yup, as I already mentioned, they are the best aftermarket manual...of the commonly available ones.

I did see colored wiring diagrams in a manual once, a long time ago. Glossy paper as well.

Even the Toyota and Honda factory manuals have B&W wiring. The difference is, they section off systems, for example, headlights, etc. so you are not following a slew of wiring that has nothing to do with what you are looking for.

Same here. I was in a waiting room the other day going over Bosch CIS in a book. The person next to me had a tablet. I said, "look, no batteries required". LOL

Do the sheets at least fold open to something sizable? If so, what size?

And are there 4 sets of electrical diagrams for all years?
I've just checked in with one of our editors on the project. Here's the word on the wiring diagrams: "4 sets total, covering all years, but there are two sets for 1995 (early and late), 1996, and a combined 1997/1998 set."

The diagrams don't fold out, they're printed on the same 8 3/8" x 11" orientation as the rest of the book. However, where we needed to we split wiring diagrams across several pages.

I don't yet have a sample of the wiring diagrams that we'll have in the book, although as soon as I do I'll post them on our site and post with a link to them here.

Spot on Maurice and in line with what my factory Porsche Repair Manual (paper version) includes.

Good. Chances are then that they are at a larger scale. When I print sheets from the electronic copy that I also have on 8.5 x 14 paper, they are next to impossible to read without magnification.

Waiting for release.

It doesn't mention if it will be shipped internationally. Anyone know how to do so?

Amazon should be able to handle an international order to Scotland. Chaters in the UK will also have the book in stock but it likely won't arrive there for about a month or so. If you like, send me a PM with your shipping address and I can reply back with a shipping quote from us directly.

Thanks to Maurice and the crew at Bentley, we will have an advance copy at the PCA Gimmick Rally in Los Angeles on November 2. The book will go to the highest placing 993 in the rally, so if you're in SoCal you can have a look at the book before it is released and have a shot at taking it home. Check out the details here:
