DESCRIPTION:
Book by Vann, Peter, Becker, Clauspeter
A Customer said Striving for perfection - like the cars themselves. A cut-above the normal coffee-table automobile book, distinguished not only by beautiful photography, but also by some inspired prose (marred only by occasional translation errors and typos). Those familiar with the elaborate style of, for instance, Claus-Peter Becker in auto, motor und sport will recognize his writing even through the English translation. For those of . fantastic book feroze@mindspring.com as the name implies, this book is fantastic. it traces back the biography of Ferry Porsche close to 1889 and the history of Porsche as well. be aware that this book is a great centerpiece for people to thumb through, but only the true Porshe enthusiast will love it!. "Not So Fantastic" according to J.P. Godfrey. I found this book to be quite disappointing, especially at its premium price. The poor translation and countless typos make me wonder if they had anyone proof-read the final draft before they printed the English edition. The photos are good but the text and choice of subject matter are questionable.
