The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Metal Lunch Boxes- Allen Woodall - Sean Brickell / Soft Cover / Published 1999 -- From the authors, "The book was developed as the definitve source on metal lunch boxes. We were careful to use the very best examples of each box and bottle available and provide profesional color photography to illustrate the front, back, sides and bottom of each box and bottle. Also, it's amazing how many people contact us asking about lunch boxes that never existed. We've had people swear they had an Elvis box, a Mr. Ed box, a Leave It To Beaver box. Sorry, but they were never produced."
