To be honest, I'm surprised about the lack of an online-shop too! For me personally, it's nice to be able to purchase items that are rare since they're only available at that shop. However, if I'd live too far away from Stuttgart to visit it regularly, I'd be quite frustrated too!

To get back to Porsche books, hereīs another one that I like a lot. This book by Jerry Pantis is packed with great pictures of the 904, 906 & 910 in racing and seems to be quite rare. I found it through an online bookseller in France last year and can fully recommend it:

I have only seen it online but was immediately interested. Thanks for the recommendation. I will have to add it to the collection.

Very good, Iīm convinced youīll like it!

A nice print-on-demand picture book on the Rennsport Reunion IV can be found here:

Very nice photography and itīs great to finally have a book on this great event, especially as all the magazine articles were way too short and I wanted to see much more!

Only small criticism is that the pictures are sometimes printed in a slightly less than perfect quality, but otherwise the book is very nice to have and well recommended to anyone who couldnīt visit Rennsport Reunion and take lots of pictures himself (like me).

Ciao,

Lars

My favorite so far in the collection of small but great books issued by the Porsche Museum: "Porsche Exclusive". Full of interesting stories and lots of pics of the cars made by the "special wishes" department. A must-have and cheap too, at just 15 Euros!

I'm the sales & marketing manager for Bentley Publishers. I've mostly been posting about our new 996 manual but it's also worth noting that we've just published the new Karl Ludvigsen book on the early years of the 356.



If anyone has any questions about Porsche - Origin of the Species, feel free to post them here and I can try and answer them!

Does it cover the Gmund cars and the difficulty in sourcing parts/materials? I have always found it interesting how much the cars changed from one to the other dependent on what they could get.

I'm sure it's an excellent book.

Thanks Maurice,

Itīs on my "to buy" list as well. It just got a very good review ("book of the month") in U.K. magazine "Classic & Sports Car".

Ciao,

Very much so, in fact the early struggles that Porsche had in Gmund are a big part of the story, especially in Chapter 7: Miracle of Production.

Thank you Maurice,

Looks like it will make a nice addition to my collection.

Nuts right? Why isn't that possible?
