Focus of the book: I can only say “The 917 by Jeff Zwart”

For those of you remembering my description of the book “Porsche Rennsport” by Jeff Zwart, it should be clear what I meant by the focus above: The most beautiful artistic studio photopraphs in front of black background, thick photo paper and the best quality you can get in book form!

The structure of the book is simple: 17 Porsche 917 are introduced by their drivers. So each chapter starts with an introduction about the car written by the driver himself, telling us how it was to drive that beast…

Impressions of the book:
The cover is made of thick carton encased by a brown fabric where the “X17″ is engraved:
