The following products are all recommended reading. Purchasing from these links via Amazon in the US throws a small commission TS’s way, which keeps me in potatos for the month.

Saab 99 and 900 by Lance Cole
The first car that Saab made – the 92 model – set the standard for advanced design that would eventually be epitomized by the 99 and 900 cars.
Lance Cole takes an in-depth look into the cars’ design and history, and into the values that Saab carries into production. Included are year-by-year developments, technically detailed engineering overviews, specifications, advice on owning and buying, and coverage of rallying and special models.

Bentley Manual – Saab 900
The Bentley manual is one comprehensive sucker and an essential volume for your Saab 900 garage library (what, you don’t have a library in your garage?).
This book covers all the 16 valve models from 1985 to 1993. It’s huge so you can frive your 900 up on to it and use it like a ramp to raise your car to do an oil change

The Spirit of Saab
Rediculously expensive, but what a great set of Saab stories! This is one of those books you’ll think about purchasing, decline when you see the price, then hope and pray that someone gets it for you as a gift. It really is that good a read.
The stories go right back to Saab’s two-stroke days and all the funny things that happen when you’re building an international car company in a small industrial town in a small Scandinavian country. That set of circustances is always a candidate for building an independant spirit – The Spirit of Saab!

Saab 9-5 – A Personal Story, by Anders Tunberg
Anders Tunberg was commissioned by Saab to write a number of books as new models were introduced. Consequently, he’ll have a few books featured in this shop.
These books are collectable not only for their in-depth text, but also for the wealth of images that are present. The author has virtually unlimited access, so there’s a number of stories and images in Tunberg’s books that you just won’t find anywhere else.

Saab: Half a Century of Achievement, by Eric Dymock
This is a fantastic volume, covering the evolution of an aviation company into a car manufacturer, and all the way up to modern times.
It was commissioned for Saab’s 50th Anniversary in 1997, so covers all models up to that date. Highly recommended.

From Two Stroke to Turbo. by Anders Tunberg
This is one that I haven’t read yet, but it’s come highly recommended. Written in 1980, it came very quickly after the introduction of the Saab Turbo.
One I’ll have to add to my to-do list.
