"As wonderfully complete as it is photographed, it makes a fine addition to any gearhead's library, even if you're not that into 911s. If you are (and most of us are) it's simply a must-have on its own." -- Tony Borroz * Automoblog * "The Complete Book of Porsche 911 should be considered a worthy purchase for any Porsche owner or enthusiast's bookshelf, especially if they don't already possess an earlier edition." * Porsche Club of America * "An absolute 'must' for the legions of dedicated Prosche owners and enthusiasts" * Midwest Book Review *
