Kids gave me a $100 gift card. I would like to get a book on Porsche 911's. There are over 11 pages on the Amazon site. Many (most?) seem to get poor reviews. Can some 996er's from this board let me know what book(s) might be the "best" ones - I am thinking of getting two. One as a "coffee table" - lots of cool pictures and another with more of the written word - giving a description of the 911 cars...

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

+1 for the essential companion, incredibly comprehensive, first book I bought when I got my 996 in 2009 and I still reference it regularly, if you are considering any DIY projects 101 projects by Wayne Dempsey is also hugely useful..
