I buried this message in a prior post but thought everyone should know about this book.

The salesman gave it to me. It is in color and has the complete history of the RX-8, rotary engine development, and rotary racing around the world. Book by Jack. K. Yamaguchi. I read that these books were given by Mazda to Mazda Dealer Principals, General Managers, Service Managers, and District Reps. These are not available to the general public. See my website for a picture of the cover of the book. http://home.mchsi.com/~dave.hughes/index.html

Noticed 1 book for sale on ebay at the following address:

Auction ends January 3rd.

I posted a response to your prior post about the book - it might not be available to the general public, but everybody who pre-ordered an RX-8 in the US was sent a copy of that book, some people got two copies. There were thousands of these books sent out to RX-8 buyers. I got a copy of the book from someone on the forum who received two, and as you noted they show up on e-bay regularly.
