The Hove International Blue Book: Price Guide and Handbook for Collectable Cameras (14th Edition) - Paperback

The Blue Book has always tried to encompass every possible camera, however esoteric.  The new edition aims to include the cameras you are likely to come across in your search to expand your collection, or to help you start a progressive interest in collecting.  The book covers "new collectables", most manufactured in the period from 1945 up to the commencement of the autofocus era.  This is the type of camera you are most likely to find at an affordable price, a camera both usable and collectable and part of the fast development in the post-war era, from the mechanical to the electronic period.  The early period and the important period prior to WWII have been retained and expanded.
