good guides to 911's up to 89

I am looking for good guides or video that are more like "this model is good but avoid this one" type of reference material. I would like a year by year buyers/ sellers guide.
Has anyone read the:

Porsche 911 buyers guide
http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/BOOK/POR_BOOK_bkpbuy_pg1.htm

some of the stuff above sounds very good but a few are no longer avail.

is there any others that are particularly good?

thanks for any help

"The Used 911 Story" by P. Zimmerman on that page link you posted was a good read when I was buying my car. I highly recommend it for people just getting started on a search for a 911. Gives good information about the 911 history as it's changed over the years. Not too technical and not excessively detailed, but still gives a nice description of what to look for (and beware of) when looking at the different years of the 911.

I kinda am looking for the tech stuff (year to year) more because I would like to start a side bus. of buying and selling them(probably SC's mostly) as well as parting them out if they are too far gone. I have exp with 74-87 but not as much with the long hood stuff.
I have some of the other books (the overview stuff) just want to gain more on the specific models.

Get the Porsche 911 Red Book 1965-1999. Has all sorts of specifics regarding chassis numbers, engine numbers, option codes, HP & torque ratings

Book is by Patrick C. Paternie, ISBN # 0-7603-0723-7

I think I got mine at Border's bookstore.
