CNJ Books

Most in-print and just out-of-print books can be bought from hobby stores and others are available online from Walthers or Amazon.com.   For out-of-print books Bookfinder.com is fantastic (and so is DirectTextbook)- and don't forget Amazon's second hand service, although this is often more expensive than the guide prices given.   Some books also come up on eBay, but always check the prices on Bookfinder.com before bidding or you can waste your money.  

The list is now split into Books focusing on the CNJ and Books with some CNJ content. Fifteen Videos/DVDs with CNJ content are also available and these are also detailed at the bottom.

YOU CAN NOW DOWNLOAD THE ORIGINAL COMBINED LIST AS PDF FILES: PHOTO BOOK LIST (382kb) - last updated Dec 2010. Contact me for the files in MS Word.  Thanks to Tom Bavolar, Bob Hoeft, Alan Mende, Kenneth Montero, Norman Mueller, Frank Reilly, Bill Smith, John Wierzbicki and Steven Winter who helped complete this list and supplied more cover photos (June 2009).Some further updates from Frank Reilly July 2010.  Links were updated Sept 2016.
