“On The Bookshelf” by Tom Scott. Tom has a vast library of fire related books and publications relating to virtually every facet of fire service literature. He writes informative reviews of new publications that are of interest to apparatus owners and admirers.  Recently reviewed books included American laFrance 400 Series Photo Archive by Walt McCall which Tom describes as "a superb volume by the premier wordsmith in fire apparatus literature", and a review of They Also Served-A History of the Non-Municipal Fire Departments in New York City by SPAAMFAA member and FDNY Battalion Chief John A. Calderone, noting that "the material presented on the volunteer fire department is by far the most comprehensive history of these organizations which has been published."

“SPAAMFAA Archives” by Ed Peterson. SPAAMFAA maintains a photo and literature archive in cooperation with the Antique Automobile Club of America at their headquarters in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Ed keeps the membership aware of recent additions to the collection along with happenings that may affect the archives.
