Consists, cookbooks,
and other data
Though we are not responsible for typographical errors in content or pricing
on this and all of the underlying web pages, we try hard to get it right.
Quick Pic COLOR
These books are all in color
These titles do not show the
details in as great of depth as
the regular Quick Pic Books but
are intended to show the
subjects in color to show weathering and usage.
They also may include images
that did not necessarily fit into
the Quick Pic Book format.
Quick Pic Books
Each book is a photographic guide of one subject or class paying particular attention to the details with many never before published views. These titles
are prized by manufacturers
and modelers because the photos included show the
details better than anything else.
Pictorial Guides
These titles are books that
are published in the same
format as the Quick Pic Book series with a spiral binding for use in modeling even though they include many unique unusual or even rare images.
The images in them are ones
we feel would be of benefit or interest to our readers but do not
fit into the other two major sets.
