Update..Christoph Maeder received the first batch of the “Literature Yearbook” original documents:
1967 and 1972, plus corresponding Christophorus issue.
We will continue to contact owners of items we need and will do this even while the process of text editing and graphic design is processed.
Nobody will be forgotten.
As of now, Maeder needs to decide on important image processing set-up and graphic design templates to consider first, in coordination with 000. It might takes a while to first share visuals.

Update:
We have now the official support of the factory Porsche Archiv.
Also, author Christoph Mäder got the support of Porsche Classic and a Porsche client hardcover version of our project will later be officially released, as a standard reference book on Porsche Literature.
The project stays in our hands but will get now official support by Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG. Its the best solution and got supported by Pete Stout of 000 magazine, we now go towards an official release by the Porsche factory in Stuttgart.

I continue to like the idea of year instalments as my period of interest is not all years so if I can contain my completonist instincts might keep it to one volume
If my wife finds out her minimalist instincts might be pressure to get rid of the musty originals in favour of a nice neat new book
Good point. Yes there will be MY year issue. And indeed some just want the infos for the year they own a car from.Originally Posted by 911MRP

Still to early to confirm final concept and design but confident we will do it.
Beside of my collection which is the bulk of infos, other contributors are coming from the Netherlands, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and of course, USA.
(We do have UK articles as well as from Scandinavia and Japan, a few from Canada)
Porsche Archive will supply what we dont have at all..

Update - just got back from Stuttgart and meeting with Porsche Archiv.
Project is now linked with Porsche Museum/Porsche Archive, which will contribute as well publishing/producing/financing it with official factory support.
Its gonne be serious and as soon as possible, i will report.
Christoph Mäder will be the author and developing the publication(s).
Oh and btw, had an exclusive tour to the Archive, saw the real Kardex items, factory production sheets for cars, factory books and items. While there were literature items seen, i got confirmed my collection is needed. NO photos alowed and I wont ever tell more, im not authorized to do so. A true highlight it was.
