I run a Porsche Technical Discussion website.
I bought the Porsche factory manuals (all 17 volumes in 3-ring binders) in 2000 for about $600. I then spend about $100/year each for the next 6 years to get updates. My factory manuals ended up about costing $1200. Porsche stopped printing manuals a few years ago and a set was well over $1200 at that time.
That does not really cover everything though - you also need the OBD II manuals for DME 5.2.2. DME 7.2, and DME 7.8 depending on your model year. When I bought my OBD II manuals (again in 2000) they were about $200 each. So to cover all models it cost me about $600. Porsche also stopped printing these manuals a few years ago and at the time each was over $800.
So all totaled I likely spent over $2000 for the factory service and OBD II manuals for the 996.
I pre-ordered the manual and purchased it here. Later Bentley sent me a review copy (based on my Porsche technical website) - so this review would have happened either way (good or bad).
For $138 (here on Amazon) you get the Bentley Porsche 911 Carrera Service Manual (996) hardbound manual with photos that the factory manuals never had - and from I can see so far 99% plus of the information that is in the factory manuals. BOTH the service manuals and OBD II manuals.
The manual layout is excellent logically each section from General Information and Maintenance to Wiring Diagrams and OBD II. Roughly 11 sections with great detail and photos the factory manuals never had. 1024 pages (and over 7.6 pounds) the manual is well composed and covers even some of the more tricky tasks. The photos are certainly worth a thousand words many times over.
Clear, concise, detailed and from what I can see complete - this IS the service manual to have if you own or work on the 996 series cars. I highly recommend it.

If you have some metric tools, time and a little talent then you should take care of you 996 as much as possible without
taking it in. A lot of fixes and repairs in this huge manual are beyond me but one routine maintenance or repair will pay for this book.
Some reviewer complained that it has lots of white blank semi-pages. Well... that is because any mechanic knows that you write
down you personal notes to help with the next repair job. What a tool.
It has more than just servicing your Porsche. All the OBD II codes are explained. The 911's factory options are there.
A must have even if you don't intend on working on the car. So much information is explained with a huge amount of diagrams and photos. 25% of the manual is diagram of connections and electrical schematics.
