Richard Brown's book is very good overview of the replica market. I got it 3 or 4 years ago so it will be a little out of date unless there's a second edition. Was the start of my interest/obsession with replicas. Worth every penny imho.

On the other hand, Mark Cooper's A Movement In Time is a complete waste of money. Many of his "facts" about Breitling are incorrect and the replica stuff is garbage. The information on this web site is infinitely better.

I'm not aware of any other books. It's obviously an underground market so it is unlikely to make the best sellers list at Amazon!

Unfortunately I have to agree. Mark also got some grief for reviewing his own book (glowingly of course) on Amazon.

It's really not a very good book.
