Most collectors find good reference books indispensable when researching their collection and identifying new additions. No one book covers everyone's interests so we have tried to present a selection here which focus on a variety of areas and manufacturers.  We have compiled this list in association with Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk so most books can be ordered directly by clicking on the links below.

We will be adding some review comments and recommendations shortly.  Not all these titles are available from Amazon UK so if the link for ordering from the UK doesn't work, try the outside UK link.
