Samie,
I bought a copy of the illinois watch book from Fred Friedberg at the Orlando show. I think that it is the best book available on illinois wrists. It is packed with information on dials, cases, and movements and has great pictures of most of the illinois watches.

Well, I didn't mean to ignore Rene Rondeau's excellent book on Hamilton wristwatches, I just briefly overlooked it in my zeal for lauding Fred's Illinois book:
