OK RX-8 Book Mint Condition

Hey everyone! Wow, it has been forever since I've been on here. I upgraded to a Corvette C6 ages ago.

I was cleaning out the office closet, and came across the collectors RX-8 book. I purchased mine, however I know for a time people were getting with the car as a gift from Mazda.

The book is titled:

RX-8
The Mazda RX-8: Worlds First 4-Door, 4-Seat Sports Car
Plus Complete Histories of Mazda Rotary Engine Development
and Rotary Racing Around the World



The book is in near mint condition, with minor wear on the edges of the dust cover. I found listings on Amazon for $35 - $220 depending on condtion.



I was thinking $75 shipped to the lower 48. However, I will entertain reasonable offers.

This is a great book for the RX-8 or Rotary enthusist! Lots of really cool info and great pictures!

Seeing as you can get them used at $30 on amazon shipping included I wouldn't think $75 is a reasonable price. Maybe $35 shipped or so?

I think you should re-read what I posted. I found them from $35 to $220 depending on condition.

I think we both agree $220 is insane... and, $35 will not get you a brand new looking book such as this one. I'd be willing to go $60 shipped, nothing less.

I'd rather it go to a rotary enthusiest, than collect dust on my shelf of car books.

I apologize for missing the part where you listed the Amazon prices. That was my mistake. I'm sure someone will pick this up.

You really should describe it better. Many of the newer members have no idea how neat this book is!

Still have it! Someone out there needs this book! It's been just sitting on the shelf ever since I bought my Vette.

It really is a great collectors book, with TONS of technical drawings, photos, concept drawings, and TONS of history on the rotary powerplants and the car itself.
