FROM MY REVIEWS IN EXCELLENCE MAGAZINE:
Tribute to the Turbo was initially planned as a limited serial of 1000 numbered books to accompany the limed series of grand turbos needed to homologate the 934 and 935. There had been a battle between those who thought that Porsche could only sell the turbos needed for homologation purposes equally loss leaders, and those who were confident that they could be sold at the so astronomical price of $25,000; but but if the car were loaded with lots of perceived value, including in this case a special volume. It became chop-chop apparent that turbos were selling like crazy and giving a book away was a waste product of money. So the las 500 books were sold separately. Incidentally, I have never seen an edition in German. The books were more or less remaindered through Stoddard Imported Cars of $47.50, and once again it took some fourth dimension to sell all the stocks. Tribute had all the qualifications of a prestige book. It was written past Karl Ludvigsen, considered the best automotive author around, who was researching the manufacturing plant files for Excellence was Expected during this menses. If had superb color photography and came in a sliver slip jacket. Every bit with all of the subsequently introduction books, developmental history and photographs of the prototypes virtually. Tribute has become an expensive book.

Liebe zu ihm is the starting time of the mill sponsored books, introducing a new model -- in this case the 356B. Dissimilar subsequently introduction books Liebe zu ihm is non an extended ad brochure but more of a celebration of the latest 356B and previous exceptional Christophorus magazine photographs. It is one of the holy grails of collectible Porsche books.
FROM By REVIEWS IN EXCELLENCE MAGAZINE:
Liebe zu ihm -- which translates as Love for Information technology or Love for Porsche (was) published concurrently with the introduction of the 356B. Liebe was essentially equanimous of leftover Christophorus calendar and factory photographs; the one on the ringlet next to the one that was originally used. Since the book was a little before my time, I really don't know how well it did initially, but information technology was certainly advertised for some time in Christophorus. It is at present the rarest, and considered by most collectors to the centerpiece of a drove.

FROM MY REVIEWS IN THE 356 REGISTRY:
So it is with the CHRISTOPHORUS Editions, published by Sudwest Verlag-Munchen. The graphics approach daring. The color separations are perfect. Color pages, and they brand up more than a 3rd of the volume, are vivid, crisp and generally without bleeds. The newest in the series, PORSCHE SPEEDSTER, Moesch & Gratz fits the mold perfectly. The (real) Speedster, given short shrift, is used mainly to found the context of the 911 Speedster. Within the approximately 30 pages are superbly reprinted advertising brochures (aufDeutsch); onetime CHRISTOPHORUS photographs including famous owners: James Dean and Herbert von Karajan. A two folio spread shows several Porsche special colour charts for the Speedster. Reprinted are even original, in colour, 'preisliste' on i folio (Speedster 1500 GS, DM 17300 - divide by 4.2), with 1986 prices on the facing folio (911 Speedster, DM 111575 - divide past ane.viii). Though written in German language, the pictures are so all-encompassing that not much is lost in the eleven folio English summary in the back. A flawed book, from the prospective of real Speedster aficionados, only lovely enough that you should consider it even at $89.95 list.

FROM MY REVIEWS IN EXCELLENCE MAGAZINE:
In 1978 Porsche brought out the 928 and the accompanying Project 928, which I have seen in German also as English. Figuring that the 928 would exist a received as avidly as the turbo, Porsche elected to sell the book separately and without gimmicks. It had neither the silver presentation box, not serial numbers, only a silver jacket and a black grit cover. Well, mostly without gimmicks. There is a leather leap presentation copy -- clearly a collector's dream, if you tin find one! Porsche was incorrect on both counts: neither the car nor the volume sold very well. Project 928 was laid out in the same mode as Tribute to Turbo, with lots of developmental shots, including early on Wiessach. Once again, the book has beautiful color photographs; the graphics and reproduction do justice to an expensive German language auto

FROM MY REVIEWS IN THE EXCELLENCE MAGAZINE:
A express press of 5000 serialized copies and the contempo Porsche collector mania conspired to create a buying frenzy for Jurgen Lewandowski's (think him? He'southward the author of the beautiful Porsche Posters.) Porsche 959. As Porsche promotional books get, in that location is nothing special nigh the 959 volume. It has the usual short Porsche history and the usual developmental shots. The graphics and the color photography are superlative notch as usual. Additionally included are the original sales brochures in both German and English language. It should exist obvious that whatsoever minor faults the motorcar might have are not going to be recognized in the test. What makes the book interesting was the chain of events surrounding its sale and distribution. Of the original 5000 number editions, the factory is said to have put 2500 away. the publisher is said to accept tucked away an boosted 1000 abroad. Then we are downwardly to 1500 books -- barely enough to fill the pipeline. In fact, the pipeline wasn't filled and the volume went from a modestly over priced $200.00 to a ridiculous $300.00 to $350.00 in a manner of months. After some complaints , Porsche released several hundred through the regular PCNA dealer concatenation at $250.00. Unfortunately, this did not stop the speculation..... If y'all really want a Lewandowski Porsche book, the Porsche Posters book is much more elegant, less self-serving and much cheaper. If you desire a Lewandowski marque volume from the same series, you might consider his Mercedes 300SL, which is still available at $200.00. Or you lot can go for the large one.

FROM Past REVIEWS IN THE 356 REGISTRY:
Though it covers none of the 356 era I tin't help merely mention the inflow of another CHRISTOFORUS Edition book: PORSCHE 959. It is as nicely done as SPEEDSTER, so is worth owning for that reason alone. More agreeable is the book'south history. In 1988 the manufactory sponsored a limited edition book to be given to purchasers of the even so unbuilt Porsche 959. This edition beyond existence numbered had a slip encompass and was accompanied by that year's Porsche calendar coin, featuring a 959, and both English language and German copies of the sales brochure. Suddenly everyone wanted the book. Prices went from a list of $200.00 to as much as $850.00. The good news for those of y'all who didn't at such obscene prices, or bought and now don't want to wear the words out, the book has been reissued as a CHRISTOPHORUS Edition! You lose the coin, the slip cover and the sales brochures, only you gain an actress chapter. You also lose the cachet of grossly overmuch. The volume is only $65.95!
Other than the added terminal chapter words are the same (both English language and High german) and the pictures are the aforementioned. While the text and illustrations are moved well-nigh, the reproduction is to the same loftier standards

Produced for introduction of 964 Carrera 4; also covers history of Porsche all wheel drive vehicles, starting with the Lohner-Porsche, Kubelwagen, Schwimwagen, Cistitalia Typ 350 formula i and Jagdwagen.
FROM MY REVIEWS IN THE EXCELLENCE Mag:
Almost paralleling the experience of Tribute to Turbo and Projection 928, Porsche has followed the limited serial Porsche 959 with Carrera 4 -- Porsche Allrad 1900-1990, a book which is essentially identical in plan to the 959 book but which is aimed at a larger audience. Though non significantly smaller, information technology is cheaper. In that location must be a lesson to be gained in all this. The 959 volume started at $200.00, went to $250.00 and then skyrocketed. The carrera 4 book lists for about $lxx.00 and hasn't sold all that well. The Carrera iv lists for $lxx,000. . . Out of about 150 pages the starting time 50 are a reasonable history of all wheel commuter. All cycle drive because F. Porsche designed the "Landwehr train" and the "C-Zug" before and during Earth War I, consisting of a power unit with generator providing electricity to trailers with electric motors in the wheel hubs. This invention, in turn, stemmed direct from the Lohner-Porsche two-wheel and four-wheel "mixte" drive automobiles. Also described are the four-wheel bulldoze VW Kubelwagen derivatives of the Second World War, the Cistialia and the type 597 Jagdwagen. A very nice history indeed. The post-obit developmental history thoughtfully explores the similarities and differences betwixt the 959 and the 964 Carrera 4. color and reproduction are of the usual highest Porsche Standard. Watching the development of the Carrera 4 from the 911 is intriguing. Those of yous who cannot with without a cabriolet will be please to come across a hardtop cabriolet undergoing winter testing. If previous runway records are anything to go by, there is not great hurry to buy this book. It is worth ownership for itself and worth buying earlier it becomes unavailable.
