Trade Review"...essential acquisition for all genuine Porschephiles..." * PANDO Magazine *
"Gordon Maltby spent 26 years editing the Porsche 356 Registry, peering into all corners of the Porsche garage: the cars, the
family, the designers, the production process, the side projects, the racing, the history, the sales, the trends, and the drivers. His new
book, Porsche 356: 75th Anniversary, reflects that deep and wide experience in a way that no book by a first-time author ever could." * Porsche 356 Registry *
"...tells the in-depth story and is a must-have book for anyone that loves Porsche and sports car history." * StuttCars.com *
Let’s get this out of the way first: Porsche 356: 75th Anniversary Is the best book about cars I have ever read. Period. Part of the reason may be that the book focuses on a single model and follows its evolution from creation to perfection but the truth is that every aspect of this book has been produced with the highest quality. * JoeFarace.com *
"The entire history of the 356 is well-told and well-illustrated covering every facet from design to engineering as well as Porsche company history." * AVANTI Magazine *
Unlike most recent Porsche titles, 356 doesn't merely tell of engineering specifics, it shows them, too, reproducing factory schematics, drawings, and cu-aways." -- Helen V Hutchings * AACA.org *
“Gordon Maltby has owned 31 Porsches over 50 years, doing most maintenance and restoration himself.” See? Total gearhead. He’s one of us, and he can write a stellar book too! * Automoblog *
