Barnes is a good general source of information, but by no means is he definitive.

People like Suydam, Fred Datig, Dave Andrews, Jean Huon, etc., have all written exceptional books on cartridge history and development.

Unfortunatly, there's one great truism about books on cartridges. They tend to be expensive. VERY expensive.

10 years ago I made a short list of about a dozen books that I wanted for my cartridge library. Factoring in shipping, I was close to $700.
