Porsche: Excellence Was Expected
At the local PCA Breakfast over the weekend I learned that re-release of this book will be part of the German Auto Fest. The author will be on there both days to sign the re-released book. Here is the link
German Auto Fest I was also told a discount was available to PCA members who pre-order the book. If anyone would like more info on that let me know.

It's described as a "presentation and book signing". Hope that means the books will be there. I doubt we going to get them beforehand and I haven't seen them listed at Pelican yet.

JSDSKI- The books release is to be at The German Auto Fest. You can buy the book there or pre-order it and have it signed either of the two days that weekend.

The Santa Barbara Chapter had it for $175 and that was including signing at the Auto Fest. Books needed to be picked up at the Auto Fest. I could see if that price was still available and let interested parties know.

Jim G. just gave me a heads up, Amazon still has this book at $167 + shipping on their site. Even though you wont have a signed copy its still a great deal! So for all those who wanted one and were not able to get in on the PCA preorder, Amazon seems to be the way to go. This price may end once the book is released this weekend.
