This book is a must have! They have dozens of them at M2 Performance. I had mine signed at Sevenstock by the major designers of the car! Now it's a collector!

Well first of all, It is the quintessential 3rd gen Rx-7 Coffee table book, 280 pages, along with many beautiful spreads of the car. It has all the stories and theories in design of the car.

Yeah, I looked at M2 Performance just before you posted. I think that $50 could go towards something a little more important to me at this time. I need a boost gauge bad!

I agree that the Yamaguchi book is awesome.. beautiful pictures, and a detailed history of the car. Before you go spending $50 at M2 though, half.com lists them for $20 still for "like new" copies. I got mine there for that price and I got it in perfect condition as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks for sharing that link xmatt. I think I'll order one. Some moron is selling it on ebay for like $95! I'll be my 3rd RX-7 book. I have the other two (RX7 Performance and RX7 Sports Car). This is a great price and completes my collection!
