The Red Book is logically organized by model year series, and within each series Paternie highlights the changes year-over-year. VIN numbers can be easily bracketed into the various production runs, and engine/drivetrain specs, suspension, wheel, and braking setups, interior trim/color combinations, and various special edition anomalies are all well presented. My own 911 search is currently ongoing, but the Red Book has helped me very quickly narrow down my choice range and verify new offerings as I encounter them.

Also provides a nice summary for each type of the 911 family. Unfortunately, the black and white pictures don't do the Porsches enough justice, so don't buy this book as a photo album.

Great for what it is. Lots of info to decode vins in the field to make sure you're getting what you're supposed to.

Only a few photos, but the technical specifications are so complete and detailed... it's realy a good surprise.

This is basically a Kelly Blue Book on steroids for those looking to purchase, or already own and want detailed info about, the Porsche 911. If you're just a casual "fun" reader this might not be the right book for you. 5 Stars for what it's intended to be though.

This book is a must have for 911 buyers. Fits in your pocket, to the point concise information very useful for determining the originiality of a car quickly. Never leave home without it!

No colored pictures, just b&w, but good technical data that is easy to follow for those of us in the market for a used 911.

I am in the process of searching for a used 911 and bought this book because it looked like a very interesting reference. It is just that, a pocket reference. Something you'd take with you while test driving a 911. It will help you decipher things like VIN numbers, which features are found in which years, etc. I plan to put it in my back pocket when I test drive the next car!

This book is very helpful for checking vin numbers and engine numbers to find out what it should/could be.
