Hey guys, yea back with the new name (Kudos Darren).
Hey, I have to do a research paper in HS, and I have choosen to research Porsche's history. Its about the only thing I am interested in, so I thought it would be cool to do a project about. Just looking for some books on the general history of the company. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!!
Thanks,
Evan

 

Ok, nevermind, don't have the name, I can post, but not reply or edit or anything...
O well it was fun for 1 time

First I would go to a book store and check those out, I got most of my collection there. I'll see which books are good and give you some titles later. I think I got a couple from the dealer. Porsche, by Peter Vann(sp) comes to mind which is pretty good. Good luck.

 

Thats odd Evan - don't know why that is ..... did you verify registration correctly or did you use AOl email - that is always a problem for web boards AOL - if that is the case re-register with a non AOL email addy

 

Look under publisher Motorbooks International. I think they have a good selection to choose from.

I have Porsche Boxster by John Lamm (ISBN: 0760305196). It is a decent book about the development and introduction of the Boxster in 1997.

Porsche 911 Story by John Frere (ISBN: 1859608396) and Porsche 911 Buyer's Guide (ISBN: 0760309477) have been recommended and are on my reading list.

 

I think that's Paul Frere. A good book, btw.

 

You're right - typo. My bad?

 

There's also an interesting book on Porsche Motorsports... I think its called "Porsche Motorsports: The First 40 Years" or something like that (probably have the title wrong). I'm part of the way through it and its a pretty entertaining read.

P.S. Aron, you made a good recommendation. I only recalled Paul Frere's name because I've read his articles in car mags for years.

 

What about 'Excellence was Expected" by Karl Ludvigsen?

 

Thanks everyone, will look into all of these.
Darren, yes you are correct, I registered with AOL, worked with my other accts, but o well, I will redo it with another addy.
Regards,
Evan
