This review is from: The Complete Porsche: A Model-By-Model History of the German Sports Car (Hardcover)
I ordered a book as a gift, and it was listed as NEW, when it was received, the book was new, but the cover had marks and folds on it, I really do not feel this is a NEW book.

This review is from: The Complete Porsche: A Model-By-Model History of the German Sports Car (Hardcover)
I enjoy the large format of this book and the large photos. The book gives a general knowledge of the cars covered without going into great detail. Highlighted are milestone Porsches throughout Porsche's history.
