If you ever fancied a @bitmapbooks.com book, highly recommended you buy direct, they are amazing, it comes well packaged and protected so you get it in perfect condition (unlike a major online retailer), plus you get a digital copy free. (Of course, you also get the warm and fuzzies)

Doing some more archive.org digging, because what else is there to do on a Friday night, and just struck gold: a Wip3out press CD from 1999. High-res renders, concept sketches, lots of Designers Republic stuff, and some wild PlayStation hardware photography.

Link: archive.org/details/Wip3...
A render of two anti-grav ships speeding across a track. Concept sketches of a track, or tracks, from Wip3out. A collection of racing team logos titled CORPORATE IDENTITIES. An original PlayStation with a pair of DualShock controllers, lit in a magnificently fluorescent late '90s way.

Tonight's archive.org discovery: a Dreamcast logo style guide from 1999. (Specifically for the European blue swirl.)

Link: archive.org/details/DREA...
A page showing the precise spacing of the Dreamcast logo. A page showing the specific Pantone colours of the logo. A page about the use of typefaces. A page about misuse of the logo.

The press kit backups on archive.org are also a really good source for official high-res period hardware photography.
