Customer Reviews

Excellence was expected, and is delivered
Karl Ludgvisen certainly delivers in line with Porsche's core values. This instant that one unwraps the packaging you cannot help but realise that this is a high quality publication. It consists of 3 hardback volumes in very high quality bindings in a heavy slip cover. Each of the volumes tells elements of the Porsche story by means of stand alone chapters, which can be slightly confusing as it means that chapters can overlap chronologically. However the benefit is that each chapter stands alone in it's own right, enabling models or particular eras to be followed readily. It is well illustrated mainly in black and white throughout the text, but with centre sections of colour plates. One minor criticism is that certain rare models only have a single photograph to illustrate them, which is hardly surprising as the entire work runs to over 1500 pages. The text details development of all of the cars as well as the people and the organisation that sites behind them.This work is well up to the high standard that Bentley Publishing have set with other books such as "A French Kiss with Death" and "The Unfair Advantage". All in all these books are well worth their high price.
