Book: Porsche - the Fine Art of the Sports Car
I visited Borders tonight and was excited to see a new Porsche coffee table book on the shelves (about $20). The photography was great and it provided a nice review of Porsche history - both on the track and off.
However, the book skips from the earliest Boxster to the 2007 GT3 and then to the later Boxsters. I was unable to find the 996. There was a decent amount of 997 information, but no 996.
That was a deal-breaker for me. Don't get me wrong - I love the other Porsche models, but that's a big hole in the pictorial narrative. I already have a couple great Porsche coffee table books anyway.
