I've only read the RX-7 one. If I recall correctly (been a while since I read it), the book describes some rotary history, the develop of the FC and a lot of technical information. It's a great read.

I would also suggest the RX-7 book by Brian Long. It's similar in many ways to the Yamaguchi book, but contains a lot of different info.

I wish I could be more specific but it's been a while since I've read either of them. However, I recall enough to still highly recommend them.

A couple other great books that are about rotaries in general:
Wankel Rotary Engine: A History by John B. Hege
The Wankel Engine: The Story of the Revolutionary Rotary Engine by Nicholas Faith.
