Post 993 Buyer's Guide & Reviews

Someone a while back mentioned that there was a 993 buyer's guide published last Fall. I was wondering if anyone has it somewhere I can download from <img src="graemlins/icon107.gif" border="0" alt="[icon107]" />

Also along the same path, I would like to know if anyone has reviews from magazines or newspapers in electronic form. Seems like the major magazines didn't start their electronic archives until the 996 came out.

Thanks <img src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" border="0" alt="[bigbye]" />

While I cant compete with Dan's searching capabilities, I did find the book I refrenced in antoher post. It is a collection of many magazine and press reviews in a single soft cover book. It even has the pictures - the articles are reprinted exactly as they were originally printed. Its pretty cool.

<a href="http://www.motorbooks.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/mbi.woa/wa/default" target="_blank">911 GOLD book</a>

edit: sorry, the site uses frames and I cant link directly to the book. Just type in "porsche gold" into the search pane on the left and click on the 1990-1997 link.

I just picked up the Porsche 911 Gold Portfolio 1990 - 1997 at Barnes and Noble this weekend. So, that's another outlet to get this book that E.J. recommends. I agree, it's a cool book to add to the collection.

There was a buyers guide to buying 993s in the November 2001 edition of 911 and Porsche World.

If thats the one you were after let me know.
