The Porsche brand is one of the most recognizable marks in the automotive world. As a result, there is a large and diverse set of books available for the Porsche enthusiast. Not all of these books are created equal. Some are better written then others, some have more technical specifications, while others have excellent photography.

The authors vary from well know Porsche columnist Bruce Anderson to more obscure, but well respected within the Porsche community, like Randy Leffingwell. Below is just a small sampling of the books available to those interested in learning more about the Porsche brand, culture, and history. I own and have read each of these books, so I feel comfortable in recommending them. I have provided a link for each book so you can purchase directly from the reseller. I’m sure that some of them would be available at your local book store as well.

If there are any books missing from the list below, please let me know. I’m happy to add to my collection, review, and add to the list.

Here’s a complete list of all the Porsche Books currently for sale on Amazon.

    “Books on Porsche come and go – but standouts are rare. Porsche 911: Perfection by Design is one … What really sets this book apart is the way it endeavors to answer a basic question: ‘Why has the rear-engined 911 been so successful in a world that’s relegated its basic layout to automotive history?’ The in-depth research and telling interviews used to answer that question make this book a bargain.”
