The King of Cool's hot summer

It's shaping up to be a banner season for Steve McQueen fans: Two coffee table books, Steve McQueen: A Life in Pictures and Unforgettable Steve McQueen, hit shelves and include (you guessed it) rare and unpublished photos of the tough-guy star. Need a tiebreaker? The latter adds a foreword by Brad Pitt. Also on sale: the legendary 1969 Porsche 908/2 Spyder that McQueen piloted (along with Formula One driver Peter Revson) at Sebring in 1970. Even though the actor had a broken foot at the time, the pair placed second overall, losing to Mario Andretti's Ferrari by a mere 23 seconds; the vehicle later famously appeared in McQueen's 1971 racing flick Le Mans. It's expected to fetch between $1.5 and $2 million, but you still have time to raise the cash: The Bonhams & Butterfields auction takes place during California's Monterey Peninsula Car Week this August.
