Would You Believe?
Don Adams and Bill Dana
Bantam Books
1982

This paperback was written by Adams and Dana and is mainly a collection of trivia. I paid $3 for mine and I wouldn't value it at much more than $5. Underneath the trivia is usually a joke or funny comment. For example:

The United States Army contracted with a board game company to make a battle tactic game. The fee, $25,000 - to help soldiers understand what war is all about.
Pass Go and collect 200 bullets.

The Get Smart Coloring Book
Saalfield, 1965

More info from Jay - "There are three different coloring books. All three have the same pages inside. Only the covers are different. Two covers have Max and Fang on the cover near a bush. Of these, one has a red background and is die cut on the right edge. The other is not die cut and has a yellow background. The third one shows Max and Fang tied up on two chairs." This is worth around $25 in mint condition.

The Life and Times of Maxwell Smart
Donna McCrohan
St. Martin's Press, 1988

An excellent book with a well-written episode guide that’s almost as good as mine. This contains profiles of everyone associated with the series, some good pictures, and some excellent lists. I recommend this one highly, even though it was written before Get Smart Again. Amanda (of the Get Smart Mailing List) calls this book "the masters thesis on Get Smart." This book is now out of print. You can usually find one on eBay for somewhere between $10-$20.

The Get Smart! Files
Ron Magid
Borgo Press, 1987, ISBN 0809581329

Patrick from Australia gave me the following information about the book, which is out of print: "It is a 56 page black and white book except for the cover which has a picture of Max with a rather pained expression on his face. It has various sections including Who Was Smart? (about the show, the good guys and bad guys, and the devices); the Best of Smart (the 22 classic episodes), a talk with "Hymie the Robot" and an interview with Don Adams. Contains some rare (at least to me they are) photos but the quality isn't that great." As with every other book, this one usually will turn up on eBay for around $10.

The Get Smart Handbook
Joey Green
Collier Books, 1993

Similar to McCrohan’s book, but with an episode guide that lists the writers and guest stars. It does contain a trivia contest, interviews with all the stars, a list of almost every CONTROL and KAOS agent, and a password list. Dave Ketchum told me the book presented a good idea of the fun times they had on the show. I think it's far more detailed then McCrohan's book. It also seems to capture the fun of the show a little more. Plus, it was written late enough to cover Get Smart Again. If The Life and Times of Maxwell Smart is the masters thesis on the show then The Get Smart Handbook is the high school term paper. Unfortunately, there are also several errors and omissions that I have to spend way too much correcting. Thanks to Michael C. for providing the scan of this book. This book is now out of print.

TV Weddings
Marisa Keller and Mike Mashon
TV Books, 1999

This book is an excellent look at weddings that have occured on television shows. Of course, there's an excellent write-up of Max and 99's wedding. The entire book is well-written and brings back some great memories, not just of Get Smart. It's available online at Amazon.com.

Spy Television
Wesley Britton
Praeger

The author of this book is a long-time Get Smart fan and so the book naturally has a chapter on Get Smart. Well-written and packed with interesting facts, Spy Television is something I highly recommend. It can be purchased at Amazon.com, but if you buy them from the author at spytv@att.net he'll autograph them for you. For more details on the book, check out the author's fascinating website.
