Do you have the newest one titled, "Transit In The Triangle" ? Also, if
they are still available, "Touring Pittsburgh by Trolley" and "The Street
Railways of Pittsburgh 1859-1967" are decent. An Arcadia book titled,
"Pittsburgh's Streamlined Trolleys" has lots of photos you may never have
seen. Transit In The Triangle is available through Pennsylvania Trolley
Museum's bookstore. Possibly some other ones may be in the PTM bookstore.
Here is a link to the PTM website:
