Got a present from my best mate's mum (of all people) today - she saw it in M&S and thought of me so she just had to buy it (it was very cheap apparently).
It's published by Marks & Spencer (of all people) in 2002 and is an excellent large format hardback book, with lots of really good quality photos. Written by Stuart Gallagher of GT Purely Porsche.
Recommended for all enthusiast of the marque...

Ah yes I noticed that one too Must admit I haven't read it all yet having only just got it, but the pictures look very nice - I suppose the pictures are what sells the book really.

I have a book on motor racing published by M&S in the late 70's. It was actually featured by "Motor Sport" a couple of years back.
