Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Fine Book -- More Context Would Be Nice
Review: If I could wish for more, it would be more context. It would be nice to have seen some better coverage of races outside of Le Mans, and more coverage of the principal opponents. It's a little like looking at the world with GT40 tunnel vision. Of course I shouldn't complain too much, this is a comprehensive history of the GT40 afterall.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: I wish there was a better book
Review: If this were a less expensive book the rating would go to 3-4 stars but compared to books of similar subject matter (Porsche 917: The Winning Formula) the photographs are not very good and the paper and printing process is at best mediocre. To add insult to injury, the book is more than "Porsche 917".

I purchased this book as reference for model building. It is some help in this respect. But the paucity of color photos and the poor resolution cause me to downrate this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All you need
Review: Tecnical info, a race/development history, chassis record. Even a brief look at the replicas. If you could wish for something more it would be better picture reproduction.
