This is by far the best Porsche photo book I've seen. If you want technical info, get Paul Frere's book, but for stunning Porsche photographs, this book is outstanding. A must for every Porschephile's collection.

The book is VERY large & is mostly beautiful pictures spanning the Porsche history of classics from the earliest models to the Boxster...a little disappointed that: once again, a Porsche book that focuses a little too much on the 911. No 924 anything? & very little to say about the classic 928! However, the pictures are beautiful & there is some great insight into the history of arguably the greatest sports car ever. You will pick this book up for years & reflect on the beauty.

I thought this book is great. It has tons of beautiful color photos and tons of interesting facts. I got a good idea of the history of Porsche. This book also has inside views of a lot of the cars and it had a lot of the technical data about the cars too.

Although I have the spanish version of this book purchased in my country (I was unable to buy it brand new over the net) I must say this is one of the best Porsche book in my collection. The book is huge and complicated to handle but once you put it on a table and see the wonderful pictures it has (never saw pictures that large indeed) you know Mrs. Lewis has a special gift to captivate the beauty of these cars. The text is interesting but basic and there's a lack of info about some models as noted by other reviewers. A good point is Auto Union reference.

Of the 35+ porsche related texts I own and collect this is one of my favorites. Excellent photos, quality printing and readable history on a wide variety of models.

Porsche: The Fine Art of the Sports Car is a very nice book with lots a great photos but if you are looking for 996 photos or text, you will not find the 996 model here.

A feast for the eyes; a superb large format coffee table item,, will build bicepts lifting it. A decent, if short, history of the marque is given w/ vintage photos. best value per pound of any of the similar collections.

I got this as a gift for my husband. It's a nice, big book - somewhat heavy actually. Has great, HUGE images. I have not read it or looked at it in great detail but it was a nice gift. He seemed excited to get it.

This has to be one of the best coffee table books around. Love the size, love the pictures and the history told inside.
