| 1. O'Brien's Collecting Toy Cars & Trucks 4th Edition (Paperback) | 
|
By: Karen O'Brien Publisher: Krause Publications September 17, 2005
O'Brien's books are always jam-packed with good information. But, it's a data book, not a picture book. There are lots of B&W photos but to include enough to show everything would require a book too huge to print.

| 6. Kovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price Guide 2010: America's Bestselling and Most Up to Date Antiques Annual - 42nd Edition (Kovels' Antiques and Collectibles Price List) | 
|
