   Vargas, by Reid Austin and
  Alberto Vargas.  127 pp. (1978)  (Out of Print) 
  The absolute best for the collector interested in the whole body of Vargas
  works, and not just the Esquire and Playboy period. The text is also
  very enlightening, and as an autobiography, it provides more information
  about Vargas than any other book. The bio information is very helpful,
  as it narrows down the dates of some images based on where Vargas was living
  when, and who he was doing work for.  
              
            Revised softcover edition published by Bell
  in 1984.   (Out of Print)  Paperback edition has Shelly Winters cover.

   Varga, (red cover) by Tom Robotham. 
  128 pp. (1995)  
  This is the only one of the 3 Robotham books that has images other than
  Esquire.  It is also the largest, at127 pages.  Note however, there
  are 2 images that are NOT by Vargas.  (p. 127 by Ben-Hur Baz, and an
  unknown, possibly Al Moore, on p. 51).  The plates are better quality
  than the White Robotham book.  (Out of Print)

   Varga, (white cover) by Tom Robotham. 
  44 pp. (1995)  
  This book contains only Esquire images.  In the copy I have, the images
  are very contrasty, with high color saturation and too light... .a lot of
  details in the images are washed out.  This may be only a problem with
  my copy, but I wouldn't bet on it.  It was printed in China, and even
  the binding and stitching are of poor quality.  The text is
  unimpressive.  (Out of Print)

   Vargas, Benedikt Taschen, text
  by Astrid Conte.  79 pp. (1990).  
  A very good source for other works... some only being reproduced here. 
  Especially interesting are the pen and ink sketches, and two oils, one of
  Anna Mae.  Interestingly, there are almost no Esquire images in this
  book.  (Out of Print)
