As a pure collectors book I only own "Old Fishing Lures And Tackle " 5th edition , by Carl F. Luckey , an American issue .
Since I am not a lure collector in the sense of the meaning , I just mailordered it from England years ago out of curiosity about those ancient lure models and as a reference to make knock-offs of one or another model , because I wanted to know , how they would act in the water .
I also own a few more English and American books , of course some German issues as well , but these are rather more dealing on fishing methods and luremaking , only one English book , the "Enceclopeadia Of Lures" , by Chris and Sue Harris(they run a tackle mailorder , the "Harris Angling") , is a list up of common lures on the market back in the days of its issue in 1999 .
There are colored tables of all lures listed and thorough describtions about colors , sizes and how to use them the best way .
