Reviews

Sure, you can pick up a couple nuggets of Porsche history by watching Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld talk cars as guests on each other's shows, but if you want all the Porsche news and trivia, 111 Porsche Stories That You Should Know is your one-stop source. The...300-page hardcover book includes 150 color photos of all the classic Porsches, drivers, engineers and executives that made the company the icon it is today. It will look great on a coffee table near you. Maxim 111 Stories is good fun for any Porsche or automotive history fan. Pick it up and read two or three stories, or ten or twenty. Learn a little about Peter Falk or Brian Redman, and then skim forward to a section on a 959 custom-ordered with gold tailpipes before bouncing over to the tale of the 928 GT with four doors. You'll learn something new, and be a smash at your local Porschephile cocktail parties. -- Doug Lloyd Panorama
