Well there are some good titles from:
Design Studio Press (click here) like

The art of midway
The Skillful Huntsman
In the future
The art of Darkwatch

Then you've got the Ballistic series (click here)

The whole Expose and Exotique series are great
Painter

Hmmm what else. Well i'll just list some other books i've got which are great for concept design (you can buy most from amazon or ebay or something:

The Art of Star Wars Episode I
The Art of Star Wars Episode II
The Art of Star Wars Episode III
Digital Art Masters vol 1 & 2

lol. There are more i could mention but that's multiple hundred dollars worth right there

Oh man... just look for everything and anything... books books books. I can't stress how good all that stuff is either. Oh and even if you don't like starwars (seeing as i listed a few of them) - those aren't just coz i'm a massive fan, they are fantastic concept design books - highly recommend them.
Anyway i hope that gives you a decent start

- oh and all of these can be purchased online (i live in Australia too, we get boned on that kind of thing
