If a book's quality was to be judged on weight and heft alone, then Adrian Streather's 'Porsche 996 - The Essential Companion' would win most contests quite handily. With a shipping weight just over 5 and 1/2lbs this book offers 640 pages of technical and anecdotal insight into identifying, authenticating, purchasing, maintaining and optimizing the Porsche 996. In other words, just about anything a current or future 996 owner could want to know about their car is included in this easy to read, must have for the Porsche enthusiast. My first exposure to Adrian's work was during the research phase prior to purchasing my 1997 Porsche 993 C4S. 'Porsche 993 - The Essential Companion' was recommended to me by a friend. At first I was a little taken back by the cost, $62 and change (same as the 996 book) but now I know I could never live with out it. While not as complete as true shop manuals, both the 993 and the 996 companion books are workshop manual for those of us with only 'modest' technical skill (which I believe covers the majority of us.)
GT Porsche, June 2008

It's just over ten years since Porsche made the bold move to introduce its first water-cooled 911 model, the 996. Now, 996s are becoming increasingly available to a larger market, with the 997 having superseded it and a facelift 997 around the corner, 996s are becoming more of a bargain than ever. 'Porsche 996 - The Essential Companion' would be a useful addition to any 996 owner, or prospective owner. Beginning with an historical introduction into the entire 996 series, the book progresses with a useful guide to identifying a genuine 996 and the key areas to look for when purchasing. Like the 993 and earlier 911 models, more and more owners are willing to get their hands dirty in the ownership process, undertaking basic servicing procedures themselves to keep costs down. The book outlines nicely

Tells you everything you need to know, whether you are a prospective nervous first time buyer or an existing owner wishing to learn a little more.
Very informative, let down only by the lack of colour pictures, dispite giving refrences to pictures that were maybe intended to be published in colour.
On the whole though, a great book.
