Peter Zimmerman's book is very good overall - much of what you look for carries over from year to year. For that matter, much of what he recommends can be used for cars that aren't Porsche.
Randy Leffingwell also writes a good guide. I found that book to fill in some stuff that Zimmerman's book did not.
Another thing to do is find out if there is a Pelican near where your target car is. That Pelican can really give the car a good looking-over, and be happy to do it. If you do get another Pelican to help out, don't leave them empty-handed.
I also bought the Red Book - gives VIN ranges and production numbers. I also bought some general information books, just to teach myself a little history of the brand, and the car. Oh, and I bought a Bentley manual, just because I wanted to see how hard it would be to do my own fixin'.
