when / where did you order? Have you at least seen an Inventory Status Report showing you 'your' car? If not, I'd ask for that. On occasion [it's not 100%] rx8orders can help. some they can't. I can't find a pattern to it. Good luck!!

'******' is from Cupertino also. 1st allocation, had build date of 5/30 - has a VIN. Check it out, maybe he has same dealer?
I'd ask the dealer to check 1) the 'preorder' on the computer and make sure the email address is on the order 2) have them show you the inventory report 3) give rx8orders a shout if the dealer can't figure it out.
p.s. FWIW , if the dealer in May attached you to an order they placed after 2/07/03 [cutoff for 2nd alloc] you may be 3rd allocation which may be why you have the build date of June/Wk 1 - I have not yet seen any VINs for any 3rd allocation folk - but at the same time, I haven't seen many posts by them either.

ISBN # ??
What's the ISBN # off this book? Our South Atlanta dealership Hennesy Mazda received a copy, but I'd like to purchase this directly. It's not on amazon.com yet 
BTW - I confirmed today most of the good Mazdaspeed accessories won't be available initally. That includes the mazdaspeed bodykit, carbon fiber interior accents, lightweight racing seats, etc..
I think the upgraded Mazdaspeed shocks, tri-strut-bar, etc.. will though
BTW, I'm waiting to see if a Mazdaspeed edition or convertible will be released 1/2 - 1 model year from now. Any more details on those models ?

Yeah that's what I figured. So no ISBN number because it's a pre-release book ?
I did get the Apollo Mook RX-8 magazine with DVD & Japan Brochure this week (ISBN # ISBN4-901915-15-0). Very nice.
Here's the Dealer Options I know of so far:
- Push-Start Button
- Keyholder
- "X-men inspired" Side grill accent
- e-brake accent
- backlit shitckshift **** gear indicator
- rotary symbol door accent
- door sill rotary badges
- 4th rotary shaped brake light
Here's the mazdaspeed dealer options I know of:
- full bodykit
- special wheels/rims
- racing seats
- upgraded exhaust
- carbon fiber interior accents (doorhandle surround, window switch surround)
- shocks
- tri-strut bar
- upgraded chassis stiffening bars
Accessories:
- RX-8 magic eightball
- phonecard
- pens
- rx-8 keyring
BTW - anyone know how much ALL of the dealer installed options/accessories will cost? It would be nice if Mazda "packaged" these for us because the knickle & dime stuff adds up VERY quickly.

No book, yet
I still have no book and I work at a Mazda Dealership. The other pre order customers from my store have already recieved theirs so I contacted rx8orders@mazdausa.com. They told me that they would ship me another one and it would take about 6-8 weeks??? So I will have my car before my book! I will bet no one else can say that.:D

Rx8orders yesterday said they are shipping mine again, first class, I should get it by the end of next week (= 6/27)- I should get the book before the car, but hopefully not by much!

Last US preorder w/book?
I doubt I'll be the last preorder to get a book because it appears some got the screw and didn't get one- but I finally got mine Friday June 20th. Unfortunately we were moving this weekend so I've just been able to read a little bit. Hope all preorders eventually get theirs! And now that they've hit shore perhaps the book is a minor detail.

nobody here can say for sure - probably not - it was for meant for those of us who preordered - but, they likely printed more than they've given out (partially because I don't believe all preorders got sold) - so you may luck out and get one from either Mazda or your salesperson / sales manager. You could always drop a line to rx8orders via email and ask what they think. If you have your order number send it with your inquiry.

Beleive it or not, I haven't received a book (from the pre-order) yet either.
(I did get one from the short lead press event.)
I too called the 800 number, explained the situation to the helpful CS rep, and she explained that it'd probably be 6 weeks or so until the vendor sending the books gets it shipped out. (guess this isn't an amazon.com operation.
Anyhow, memorize this number: 800-222-5500 ......4
