Summary: Simply Awesome -- and a Fantastic Value, Too
Comment: It's expensive. And not for everyone. And to own it and enjoy it requires time and energy, with a substantial payoff in the form of a richer, deeper existence on our planet Earth.

Am I talking about a Porsche? Yes, but also about Karl Ludvigsen's latest written masterpiece, Excellence was Expected. Simply put, this book is worth every penny, and more. Here's my advice:

If you like Porsches, get this book.

If you know someone who likes Porsches, get them this book.

Get this book for that design afficionado you know -- even if they're not into cars.

Summary: Three Volume, 2003 Edition of Excellence Was Expected
Comment: The first edition, in 1977, was acknowledged to be the benchmark of accurate information on Porsche cars. The second (2003) edition is more than a new expanded editon of the old book. There has been considerable new text material & photos added to the early chapters, which must be carefully read to be appreciated. Approx. half of this editon covers more recent production years, thus the 3-Vol. format. The depth of detail is amazing, & far exceeds the plethora of other books written in the last few years. The cost is somewhat intimidating, but after a close look, it is really comparitively inexpensive for the quality of the books & material therein.
For the layman it will exceed your expectations. For the knowledgable enthusiast, it is even more indespensible for reference than was the first editon.
