For those who got the book and had a chance to read it, how is the book? What are the pros? and certain "wish it has more of these" ? What kind of details does it cover? I certainly have a lot of respect for the author, Just would love to hear your take on the covering of this model 997. Appreciate your response.
I've been waiting awhile for this publishing, look to order one myself.
Thanks

Aren't the Turbo front rotors 350mm? This book lists them as 380mm.

Width is wrong for the GTS. And the image used is of a 991. There are errors like this all over this book. For $120 you expect a reliable source of info. This is not it.

Still over $100 prime and ~$60 from 3rd party.
I'd get this one if it wasn't over $400.

Reviving an old thread here (since the instructions say: use the damn search function!):
Bought this book 2 months ago:
A great read, not only about the 997 (although it has its own chapter dedicated to it of course) but the entire porsche history.
The author obtained inside knowledge from Porsche, and it shows in all the historically correct info.
Plus the pictures are magnificent!
Finished it in one week's time, and will be reading it again soon (which is a rare occurence for me )
Can be found on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Porsche-70-Years-There-Substitute/dp/0760347255/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1519679586&sr=8-1&keywords=porsche+70+years
Enjoy!

Grant Neal’s new book is good, though color kindle only. Upside of being kindle-only is that he’s been tweaking it over time (adding content, fixed a few typos, etc.).
