Books
I have all these books and many more, so I have tried to give an appraisal of the ones worth having in 2020 though I avidly collected anything 928 related whenever published or found.

For a couple of quid its worth adding to your collection.
Don't be put off. Colour pictures of all models and some good detail with tables a little bit like a top trumps deck of information.
928 model coverage is good with pictures of UK cars from 1979, 1988 and 1995 although the author dismisses the 928 as a footnote in the companys evolution.

If you wanted to see how the 928 came about then its well worth it.
None on on Amazon at the moment!
Expensive and hard to find in good condition. It contains pictures of prototypes, test information and design history which simply dont exist anywhere else.

Comparisons between the Porsche 924, 928 944, 968
Contemporary book which was important to the decision making process between the 944 968 and 928 for me ☺.
Porsche has a true sporting pedigree. The 924 was the first of a new generation of front-engined models that would unleash the V8-engined 928, see the 924 evolve into the 944, and eventually deliver the 968. They spurned the rear-engined layout of the 911, but each model has proved worthy of the Porsche name, with the familiar combination of exquisite looks, advanced engineering, peerless build quality and towering performance. Here, David Vivian describes the front-engined models, including their background and development, driving impressions, technical details and competition history. Complemented by photographs of each model, this book should be of interest to devotees of the sporting masterpieces from Zuffenhausen. David Vivian is familiar with all of today's sporting supercars, having been road test editor of "Autocar & Motor" for many years. A full time writer, he contributes regularly to the motoring press, and his books include "Porsche 911 - The Complete Story" in the Crowood AutoClassics series.

Porsche 928 Gts (Italian)
This book is printed in the same size as the owners manual and contains 70 pages of 928 GTS specific information. My copy is in English. Check the language before ordering. Lots of great detailed pictures of model year 92 GTS cars and interiors. There is a paint chart of dubious colour reproduction quality in the last couple of pages.
