1991 Complete 2 Volume Set: The NEW Book of Buddy "L" Toys
Authored by Albert McCollough, and published in 1991 by Greenberg Publishing. "The NEW Book of Buddy "L" Toys" Volumes 1 and II are the complete and most definitive references on the subject. Both hard cover volumes are easy to read and easy to use. Each contains a large number of black and white, and color photographs printed on glossy heavy stock paper dealing with every detail of this classic American pressed steel toy company. Before the Internet came along I searched for several years before I found an affordable copy of both volumes in unused condition. Both have been out of print for some time. The layout of information, and therefore chapter titles, is similar between the two books, however the time periods and areas of toy manufacturing are different. Volume 1 (190 pgs.) The Child's Dream Come True: The Story of Buddy L, Half a Century and More: Buddy L Toys 1921-1971 (Air Force Trucks through Freight and Moving Vans), Catalogs and Price Lists, Ads and Publicity, The "R" Words: Repaints, Restorations, and Repros. Volume 2 (191 pgs.) The Child's Dream Come True: The Story of Buddy L, Half a Century and More: Buddy L Toys 1921-1971 (Games and Novelties through Wrecking and Tow Trucks), Ads and Publicity, Unanswered Questions: How Many Were Made", Different Toys Same Number: A Checklist.
