4.0 out of 5 stars Decent General Porsche Identification, January 3, 2008
By E. falk "eric" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
