Does Anyone have Porsche: Excellence Was Expected by Karl Ludvigsen? Or The Carrera RS book?

I have been considering purchasing this book but am amazed by the price. Is it really worth the $200+? I have read the reviews in Excellence and other Porsche magazines but am still not convinced. Also any info on Carrera RS would be nice.|||Well, it's probably not for me to say, but it may be useful for you to know that it took me eight years, on and off, to write Excellence Was Expected. It contains half a million words in more than 1,500 pages and is considered the bible on Porsche. In its several editions over the years it has benefitted from updating and the inputs of many experts.





What's important about it is that it tells you not only what Porsche did but also why and how it did it from road cars to racing cars and from the very beginning. Other books tell you "what" but not "why".





Thus if you're curious about Porsche and are eager to know more about the men, the company and the cars, this is the book for you. If you just want facts rather than knowledge, this may not be your book.
