Reviews

"A must have for the Porsche lover for the holidays." - Andre Dufault, Bear Facts "Photographs are the real standouts in this volume as expected from Mr. Leffingwell, the accompanying text are by no means mere captions but great pleasure can be derived from just looking at the pictures. ...buy it for the pictures but don't miss reading the stories." - Eric Chau, P4 "If you have a Porsche book collection, or intend to someday, this is the one to ad. From racecars to production cars to future concepts, virtually everything is covered." - Pat Enright, "El Portal ""It is the most complete Porsche coffee-table book available, and it is worth reading from cover to cover after you have looked at the pictures. If I could keep only one Porsche coffee-table book, this would be it." - The Heat Exchanger "Porsche lovers are fortunate indeed to be able to add Mr. Leffingwell's new book to their library. Even avid Porschephiles will find something new in this well-researched work. Christmas is around the corner. Do your spouse a favor and tell him or her that you'd like Randy Leffingwell's book for Christmas." - Ed Yuen, "Sonne Porsche" Photographs are the real standouts in this volume, as expected from Mr. Leffingwell. The accompanying text is by no means mere captions but great pleasure can be derived from just looking at the pictures. ...buy it for the pictures but don't miss reading the stories." - Eric Chau, The P4 "In a single sitting with "Porsche Sixty Years" I read over 82 pages... the writing was that engaging. If you want the definitive history of Porsche, or a great gift for your Porsche nut, I can highly recommend this book as a great addition to your library!." - David Witteried, Winding Roads "Randy Leffingwell is MBI's best selling author and a fantastic photographer. This is his fourth book on Porsches and is his tour de force. It is a celebration of Porsche's 60th anniversary..."a vault of Porsche history." T
