Reference material of this size and detail needs input from many different sources to be complete and accurate. A number of collectors in Melbourne and around Australia have been very forthcoming with their time and information in the preparation of this guide. Many contributors have been acknowledged below in alphabetical order. Of course some people have been able to contribute more information than others which is much appreciated.
Information on some series is incomplete at the time of publishing and further amendments and additions are welcome.
