Get the 13th edition of the Blue Book. Check out the Pyramyd Air blog, and look in the classifieds here and other airgun forums like AirgunWarriors for Tom Gaylords Airgun Reviews. Hiller wrote several airgun books too. Protea. com has several airgun books. Also our forum member Airngasman wrote several books. Only one is in print. I'm sure he'll post here shortly.

Depends on if the guns are import or domestic. Dennis Hiller's air pistol book is great for imports. I also have his air rifle book. Very good information there. Vintage Airgun Gallery is an amazing website. Make a monetary contribution if you can.

When I first started delving into a new hobby, like collecting, I found that reading books about it really helped deepen my understanding. It's like when I dove into the Game of Thrones books – they not only entertained me but also expanded my knowledge of the fantasy genre. For air pistol collecting, maybe look into books on the history of air pistols, maintenance guides, or even collector's guides.

Barnes and Noble carries airgun magazines from the UK and the only one that I know of printed in the US.
Or maybe it's Books a million.....

As @Ezana4CE and @Pale_Rider mentioned, Custom, Classic and Otherwise Awesome Air Pistols by Ron Robinson is the go to here. I've been fortunate enough to find all of Rons books on airgunning and they are well worth it.
Fortunately, the above title is still easy to find for purchase.

Thank you, Gentlemen.
Attached is a sample. The book also has a similar chapter on American vintage-classic air pistols; but I'm not giving it away also.
