Not the best book on the market, that has to be Collecting British Toby Jugs by Vic Schuler, but for it's time, and for the collector, a very nice addition to a toby jug reference library.
I hav'nt got my copy available, but from what I can remember, it has a few black and white photos, and has the different toby jugs listed by type, a format that has been copied ever since.
Looks like its been well used, I remember when I first started collecting toby jugs, I thought it was a bit like train spotting, and the first toby jug book I bought would have ticks against the different types of jugs, just so I never bought the same jug twice. As a result I did have lots of cheap jugs made by 20th century makers. Only after about 2 years did I then consontrate on quality rather than quantity.
It's on ebay, and should go for about £10.
