"Concept Cars: From the 1930s to the Present," by Lary Edsall

I thought this book was interesting (since the rx8 has its own space at pg. 198) and just wanted to pass the info. Found it at Barnes&Nobles for the amazing price of $7.99. It is a hard cover book (264 pg), very good quality with lots of car pictures, sketches, and information. As soon as I saw the rx8 in their just thought that it would be fun to have a book and show to my kids-grandkids (when I grow up)) the car I used to own !

The book at Amazon has a different cover. I am not sure if the books are the same editions with different covers. Trying to find out the publication date of the one I have, but it seems that somebody just forgot to include one !
