If they are British leaflets for Germany then yes. The books by German author Klaus Kirchner are the ones to see. (
Leaflet (Artikel))
The books are all in German but they illustrate every British leaflet dropped on Germany by UK-based aircraft. The are beautifully produced books and very cheap as well. It's the postage that is the killer though as these are over A4 size books with hundreds of pages.
There's a book by the late Jan de Groot for Allied leaflets dropped on the Netherlands:
De Wervelwind, De Vliegende Hollander: en andere uit de lucht verspreide vlugschriften; de Vries, Leonard/de Groot, Jan; (Skarabee Facsimile, 1974) ISBN 90 6071 133 5
But you might have a job finding it as it's quite rare. Most of the Allied leaflets dropped on Holland are illustrated in B&W only.
I had thought of doing some books myself but decided on concentrating on the leaflet database instead because of the sheer volume of leaflets and the time involved.
Eventually I want to have an illustration of every leaflet, with an English translation and with full dissemination data - but this will take me a lifetime to complete!
