Yeah, two of them, actually. Although I guess we can all wish they were a little crazier, or that there was more craziness to go around, because, sadly for us, the lists don't cover all Transformers items ever released anywhere for all time. Nobody out there is sufficiently demented, I guess. Still, there's pretty good coverage. Way better than we have any right to expect from people: There's the perennial, original Transformers Artifacts List by Raksha which covers G1, G2, and BW2, and the Beast Wars Through Car Robots Artifacts List by Richard "ViceGrip X" Mistron which covers BW, BW2, BWN, BM, and CR. Richard's list was once called the "Beast Wars and Beyond" list when it was intended to be perpetual, but he has since come to his senses and decided not to cover the newer series. (It was a good time to quit, since Armada had more merchandise than any TF series since G1.)
Oh, you may be wondering what exactly an "artifact" is. Basically, it's any piece of branded merchandise besides the actual Transformers toys themselves. Artifacts include goodies like coloring books, sleeping bags, figurines, and pencil sets, as well as more obvious merchandise like comic books and video games.
First thing to keep in mind is that there is an enormous amount of Transformers stuff to keep track of, and no single book could possibly be "complete". So the appropriate book(s) for you will depend on what you want to get out of them.
Probably the best all-around option is Transformers: The Ultimate Guide released by DK as part of their popular "Ultimate Guide" series, and written by Simon Furman. This book discusses toys and fiction for TFs from G1 through Energon. It is beautifully produced, full of wonderful illustrations (most previously published in various places, but some are new for the book), and a fun, easy read. It has photos of selected toys along with their tech specs and bios. It has summaries of key cartoon episodes and comic issues. It has background information about Cybertron and on Transformer society and technology. If you want a summary of the first twenty years of all Transformerdom, this is the book for you.
In 2003, Dreamwave began publishing an all-new series of profile books called More Than Meets The Eye which are much like Marvel's old Transformers Universe series. MTMTE spanned all of G1 and thus encompassed hundreds of characters (they even wrote individual profiles for each Micromaster, despite the toys having come with group profiles for their whole squad). The profiles are for the Dreamwave TF continuity, so there are some differences from the original material, but DW continuity is pretty heavily based on the G1 cartoon. The eighth and final issue of MTMTE was a more general guide to the TF universe with extensive background on Cybertronian history, technology, and sociology. Dreamwave followed this series in 2004 with an Armada profile series, More Than Meets The Eye: Transformers Armada, and intended -- before going out of business -- to release MTMTE guides for other TF lines as well. The G1 series was collected into two TPB volumes, and the Armada series into one.
Doing for the toys what Dreamwave did for the characters is a series of guides from Antarctic Press called Cybertronian: The Unofficial Transformers Recognition Guide. One of the reasons this guide is popular among fans is that so much of the material was produced by fans (many of them pretty well-known, too). Production on these seems to have stopped, but seven issues were released, each representing one or two years worth of toys. Issue seven covered years one and two of Beast Wars, as well as Machine Wars (and the convention exclusive toys that had been released in the period covered by that issue). Each toy in Cybertronian has its own entry (usually a full page, sometimes less, sometimes more) with clear, large photos of the toy in all modes as well as all of its accessories. The toy's tech specs and bio are also included, as well as trivia about the toy itself or comments on the design elements implemented in it. Each issue also had a section containing summaries of cartoon episodes and/or comic issues from the same period of time. Lastly, each issue had beautiful original art on the front and back covers, including some work from widely-known artists like as Hirofumi Ichikawa and Matt "Jackpot" Kuphaldt. The main portion of the guide was written and edited by Harold Tietjens and Doug Dlin at Antarctic Press. Cartoon and comic summaries were condensed from the work of fans Rik "Silverbolt" Bakke and Robert Jung. There are two side-projects aside from the main guides: An "Index" volume with thumbnail photos of every US-release Transformer from G1 through part of RID, and a pocket-sized "Field Guide" reproducing the photos for 1984-87 toys, plus a price guide covering all lines (US and international) through part of RID. The primary drawback to the Cybertronian guides is their cost; US$25 for each 96-page issue of the regular series, printed on normal glossy comic book paper. (The first printing of issue 1 was on matte paper.)
Dreamwave's MTMTE, and Cybertronian were widely available in comic book stores as they were produced by established publishers. The remaining guides (below) were printed by small/vanity presses and are available, for the most part, only for direct purchase, although you can find some of them through sources like Amazon.com which do direct-market sales. Also, they are -- for the most part -- clearly the work of fans/amateurs. This doesn't mean they are "bad". I just want to make a clear distinction between them and the "professional" guides. There are differences in production values, as well as the fact that fan publications contain a lot more fan-isms such as harping on parts of the franchise the author doesn't like or giving excessive praise to parts they do like. These fan-published works tend to have more errors in them, as well. I have seen all of the items below (with the exception of TransManual) criticized quite a bit for mistakes, opinions or conjectures stated as facts, and so on.
The earliest published Transformers guide is Jose E. Alvarez's The Unofficial Guide to Transformers: 1980s Through 1990s which was published through vanity press Schiffer Books in 1999. The book is very heavily focused on photos of toys from Alvarez's collection. It also has text introductions to each year of toys, as well as captions for all the photos. It begins with G1 and ends with year two of BW and MW, as well as having a selection of artifacts and convention-exclusive items. There is a price guide included, but it doesn't seem to have been very thorougly researched, and is naturally years out of date by now, and shouldn't be relied on. Also, sadly, many of the toys that are pictured are damaged or have missing parts. This book has been surpassed in the years since it was published, but at the time it was the most comprehensive collection of TF information outside of cyberspace. It should also be noted that this guide is not comprehensive: it doesn't have pictures of every toy, nor does it show their accessories and so forth, nor does it have any information about the cartoons, comic books, etc.. It is akin to a coffee-table book, and is not a guide to be used by a collector trying to manage his collection. Alvarez has written three subsequent guidebooks: The Unofficial Guide To Japanese and Other International Transformers, Beast Wars Transformers: An Unofficial Guide, and Transformers Collectibles: Beyond the Action Figures. (Alvarez is also known in the fandom as one of the heads of Cybercon Expo, a medium-sized annual TF show held in New Jersey.)
Mark Kimmel's TransManual is a comprehensive guide to TF toys. Each toy is shown in at least three photos as well as all of its accessories and tech spec data and motto (no bios). Major variants are also listed. There are currently two volumes of TransManual, covering the years 1984-1986 and 1987-1990. The beginnings of a third volume (just four pages long) are available for free download from Mark's website, www.galvatron.com.
Rounding things out, we have a fan guide to Transformers fiction: Prime Targets: The Unauthorized Story Guide to Transformers, Beast Wars, and Beast Machince by Lars Pearson. This book contains summaries and analysis of every issue of the Marvel G1 comic (US and UK) and every cartoon episode of G1, BW, and BM. A second volume of Prime Targets is being solicited by its publisher, Mad Norweigan Press, and is said to give similar treatment to the Japanese G1 cartoons which were never released in the US.
Lastly, if you haven't already, make sure you check the list of Transformers lists that you can find online, in question I/B/3. There are several online guides to toys, cartoons, comics, etc. which might suit your needs.
There are far too many items of clothing out there with Transformers on them for me to even try to list them. With the wave of 80's nostalgia that started in the late 1990's, more and more clothing with "retro" graphics has come out. Some of it is even licensed, rather than being essentially bootleg clothing. To find TF clothes you should check stores that specialize in pop culture items like Hot Topic, Suncoast, and Spencer Gifts. Also, naturally, comic book stores.
After nearly twenty years of TF video games, the PlayStation 2 title, "Transformers Armada: Prelude to Energon" is the first game to actually get positive widespread reviews. Some of the previous games have limited popularity within the fandom, but not much among normal people. A list:
A platform game in which you collect pieces of a giant Autobot symbol. Playable characters are Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Mirage, Jazz, and Hound. Each character is essentially one 'life', as when you get destroyed you come back as another Autobot. Released in 1986(?).
Sort of a first-person shooter, although you can't move. So really it's more like a light-gun game, but since there's no light gun you move a crosshair on the screen with the joystick. This game has a bizarre selection of playable characters: Cliffjumper, Hound, Pipes(?!), Kup, Bumblebee, Blurr, and both Rodimus Prime and... Hot Rod. You send your Autobots out to different locations on a map screen where they wait for Decepticons to attack in droves. There is also a nearly impossible scene where you try to stop a tyrannosaurus rex from stepping on the space shuttle. (At least, it was nearly impossible when I was ten.) Released in 1986(?).
(Note: For some reason, I previously referred to this game as "The Battle for Cybertron", so you may see that name used sometimes... but hopefully not.)
A Japan-exclusive game, this is a fairly standard platform title where you control Ultra Magnus. It is exceedingly difficult, mainly because it is so shoddily made. "Comvoy" is a mis-Romanization of "Convoy", the Japanese name for Optimus Prime. Extensive information on this game can be found on Crazysteve's site. Released in 1986.
Another Japan-exclusive game, this one for the Famicom Disk System, which was never released internationally. Like Myster of Comvoy, this game is a platformer and is not very good. You control Chromedome initially as he searches for his Headmaster brothers and Rodimus Convoy, who also become playable characters. As with the previous game, this one is well covered by Crazysteve. Released in 1987.
Run around nearly-textureless landscapes (much like season one of the TV series) and inexplicable city areas on prehistoric Earth as a Maximal (Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Rhinox, Dinobot) or Predacon (Megatron, Tarantulas, Inferno, and Scorponok) defeating drones. Terrorsaur and Airrazor are also playable in the bonus flight missions, and Rattrap and Blackarachnia are unlockable. The official Hasbro site used to have a demo of the PC version available for download, but that is no longer the case. You can now get the demo from the tidbits area of Steve-o's TF Site. It only runs on Windows. This game was released in 1998.
A Japan-exclusive 2-D fighting game based on the Japan-exclusive Beast Wars Second toyline. Like the show that inspired it, this game was comical, not gritty and serious. In fact, the characters are all fairly chibi (short, cute). Usually just called "The BW2 Fighting Game", considering the full title is a bit of a mouthful. Playable characters include BW2 folks, as well as (oddly) characters from BW and BWN: Galvatron, LioConvoy, Megastorm, Scuba, Megatron, Convoy, Cheetas, Guiledart, StarUpper, and Artemis w/ Moon. Some additional characters appear in a hidden shooting game. Released in 1998.
An arena-type fighting game with both projectile and hand-to-hand combat. The PSX and N64 versions have the same general idea, but there are a lot of differences between them. This game was developed for a Japanese release, and Hasbro Interactive passed on publishing it in the USA. However, thanks to the tireless efforts of Transfan "Ravestrike", who worked for BAM! Entertainment at the time, the game was localized and released in the US. Voices for most of the characters in the US version were provided by their TV show actors, and the BAM! versions also have additional characters that weren't in the Japanese games. The localization was very much a labor of love by Ravestrike and his then-boss. Although the PSX version was sold at retail, the N64 build was only available through Blockbuster (initially for rental, but eventually sold as used). It's a decent game, but reviews of it are mixed, even among fans. Some like it a lot, some dislike it, and most fans seem to be somewhat ambivalent about it. Released in 2000.
A web game written in Macromedia Flash that is available on the official Transformers website. It was also on the "Transformers Universe" CD-ROM that was packed in with some Universe and Armada toys in 2003. In this Armada-branded game you fire missiles at incoming Decepticons who are trying to steal the Autobots' energon stash. Released in 2003.
This is a game written in Macromedia Shockwave that you can find on the Cartoon Network website. It went up in conjunction with the premiere of Energon on television. It's a turn-based strategy/tactics game where you control Terrorcons, trying to gather enough energon to revive Megatron. Since it's just a web game, it's somewhat simplistic for the genre, but it's still a lot of fun. "Released" in 2004.
Finally, a well-received Transformers game! This is a somewhat standard, but very competent 3rd-person action game. You run around as Optimus, Hot Shot, or Red Alert fighting "Decepti-Clones" (i.e. cannon fodder), and gathering Mini-Cons, with the boss of each level being a Decepticon. You can customize your abilities and stats for each level by choosing which of your amassed Mini-Cons to bring with you. The Tidal Wave level is especially impressive. Released in 2004.
There are a variety of TF-themed mods and homebrews created by fans. A lot of them are modifications of old console games (mostly for the NES), but there is also a very ambitious Quake 2 conversion.
There have been three sets of TF trading cards released over the years.
First is the old "Transformers Action Cards" released by Milton Bradley in the 1980's. Each pack contained eight cards and one sticker, and there were 192 cards and 24 stickers overall. The cards came in a couple different types -- some had character bio and tech specs on one side with their box art on the other. Other cards showed screen shots of the cartoon series with a description of the scene or some aspect of the Transformers mythos on the back. There were two checklists, cards 96 and 192. Many of the cards had variations (probably not intentional ones) such as character artwork appearing over differently-colored backgrounds. An archive of all the Action Cards has been put together by Richard "ViceGrip X" Mistron.
During the Beast Era, a BW card game was released, but it never seemed very widespread. The game was called the "Beast Wars Mutating Card Game" and bore some similarities to the fan-created "TF BattleCards" game (see below). Cards for the game featured characters, special attacks, and transformations. Further information on this game can be found on Ben Yee's website. Although Battlecards was a collectible / customizable card game (CCG), the BW game was not. (An Armada board game came out later that used cards along much the same lines as the BW game.)
Most recently, 2003 saw the release of a set of cards based on Armada. This series was released by Fleer, and the cards are very, very pretty. The majority of the cards in this set were bios, with character artwork on one side and biographical info on the other. There were also a few kinds of chase cards featuring pieces of larger artwork, covers from Dreamwave comics, and suchlike. Many of the character bios had previously appeared on the official TF website, but many of them had not been previously seen. Richard Mistron has an archive of these as well. Note that the scans of the artwork are presented in very low quality for now, since the cards can still be found in stores. All of the bios have been transcribed, however. Unicron's is especially interesting.
Last among official cards, although these aren't trading cards, 2003 saw the release of decks of regular playing cards from Bicycle branded with G1 and Armada. On the G1 deck, the artwork is all simplified versions of the characters' original box art. The number of lines has been reduced, and they are colored in flat tones instead of the "painted" look of most of the original art. The card backs show Optimus Prime and sport the original G1 logo. The characters appearing are: 2:Warpath, 3:Scavenger, 4:Smokescreen, 5:Prime, 6:Thrust, 7:Soundwave, 8:Perceptor, 9:Kickback, 10:Inferno, J:Megatron, Q:Beachcomber (sorry, it's not Starscream), K:Long Haul, A:Omega Supreme. One joker sports an Autobot sigil, the other a Decepticon sigil. The Armada deck is similar; it's jokers both have Mini-Con sigils, and the other cards are as follows: 2:Perceptor, 3:Cyclonus, 4:Demolishor, 5:Red Alert, 6:Runway, 7:Sonar, 8:Jetstorm, 9:Starscream, 10:Hot Shot, J:Megatron, Q:Optimus Prime, K:Optimus Prime Super Mode ("super pants Prime"), A:Decepticon sigil for black, Autobot sigil for red. In the Armada deck, each character has two pieces of artwork in the deck, one on the red cards and the other on the black.
There is also a set of TF cards for a fan-made collectible trading card game called "BattleCards". The creators of the game, Richard Garner and JuQuan Williams, attempted to get the game marketed through Hasbro in the mid/late 1990's, but sadly it never went into production. (The game "premiered" at BotCon 1996.) Although Hasbro didn't produce Battlecards, they did modify it to create the "Beast Wars Mutating Card Game", and later the "Armada" board/card game.
In late 2004, the creators put up a new site about the game with updated sample cards and a Flash demo of the game mechanics. They also, years ago, released a full set of cards for download. That old set can be found on Steve-o's TF Site in the "tidbits" section. You can reach the creators of the game by writing to battlecards@metalface.net.
There are many, many Transformers books out there, and this is not a complete list.
A semi-complete treatment of G1 books can be found by looking at Raksha's Artifacts List and Steve-o's Book Scans (which are mostly G1). There were storybooks of different sorts put out by several publishers, as well as activity books, sticker books, and so on. Most of this material was released in the years 1984-1986, with licensing dying off pretty rapidly after year three.
Marvel released at least three series of books in the US -- large, hardback picturebooks, smaller paperback storybooks referred to as "Big Looker" books, and a series of coloring/activity books. There was also a series of text adventure books from Ballantine under the brand "Find Your Fate, Jr." In the UK, another series of adventure books called Young Corgi Adventure was released. And, there was a series of read-along books that came with dramatized audio recordings from a company called Kid Stuff. Some of the Big Looker books were also released with audio by Kid Stuff, but it's not known (to me, at least) what business relationship (if any) the two companies had. Additionally, a series of storybooks were released in the UK from a company called "Ladybird". The Ladybird books are rather small, but are all hardcover. These books could be purchased with or without an accompanying audio cassette. There are some other odds and ends, books that seem to have been in a series of one, but this is the majority of what came out in North America and the UK.
As far as I know, the only G2 books released were a series of coloring/activity books from a company called Honey Bear.
Nothing in North America, although a set of coloring books was released in some international markets such as Australia / New Zealand.
Not since G1 began has there been so many books! Picture books and extra-thick coloring / activity books from Bendon Publishing. Chapter books for young readers from Reader's Digest, and a slightly easier set of story books from DK. Reader's Digest also released an "official guidebook" for Armada which contained character profiles and tech specs, including some little details that were never revealed elsewhere such as the kids' ages (Rad and Alexis are 12, Carlos is 11).
I'm sure there are more books that I don't know about. Feel free to contact me with more information.
This is an even harder list to keep track of than the books, so I'm going to keep it brief. This is not a list of all TF videos ever released, it's just a summary.
In North America, the entire G1 series including the movie were released on DVD (and VHS), coming out in the years 2000-2004. This is the first time the G1 cartoon has been available in its entirity outside of Japan. Additionally, BW was also entirely released on DVD. Individual DVDs of Armada with four episodes each have also been coming out, but a box set collection is likely in the near future. All these releases come from Rhino Home Video, a subsiduary of Sony Wonder that specializes in cult and retro titles. There were several previous releases of TF:TM over the years from both Rhino and other companies; these are addressed, in question [N/A]. Aside from the boxed sets, Rhino also has some individual tapes and discs that were released earlier and possibly as a way of testing the market: two individual BW discs, two G1 discs, and several "themed" tapes/discs (for example, the tape "Grimlock the Hero" contains two otherwise unrelated episodes that star Grimlock). Also available in North America are four BW DVDs from Alliance Atlantis which cover the full first season.
Rhino held the license for TF videos in the USA for several years, but that appears to be about to change, as a Hasbro press release from 2004-June-08 announces a new partnership between Hasbro and Paramount Home Entertainment with the release of Transformers Energon scheduled for October 2004.
In the UK there have been a lot of releases, too. Two companies, Maverick Entertainment and Metrodome, have both released DVD sets of the G1 cartoon. There are also two releases of the movie on disc, an extras-laden version from Maverick and a budget version from Prism. There are even RID DVDs coming out in the UK from Maximum Entertainment, and a release from Maverick of one disc's worth of the cheesy dub of Headmasters, under its Asian broadcast title, Transformers Takara (sometimes Takara Transformers). (See [N/A] for more on the JTF dubs.) The first season of BW has been released on videotape in the UK, but not on DVD. Australia and New Zealand have been similarly serviced by a very fan-friendly company called Madman, which has released the movie and is in the process of doing G1 season box sets. The first two seasons of BW have been released in Australia / New Zealand, but only on VHS.
The releases in Japan, as you might expect, outweigh everything else. Basically, every TF TV show ever broadcast in Japan can be bought on DVD. Even the Zone OVA has been put out on disc. As it was with Micron Legend, DVDs of Super Link are coming out at regular intervals while the line is still running. Of particular interest to some fans were the Micron Legend DVDs, each of which came with an exclusive Mini-Con recolor and a mini-comic called "Linkage" written and drawn by Hirofumi Ichikawa.
If you are looking specifically for laserdiscs rather than DVDs or VHS, you'll have to pay through the nose. Although, if you're a laserdisc collector you are probably already used to that. The only TF LD that was produced outside of Japan was an American edition of "Five Faces of Darkness" from FHE, the company that did all the American video releases back during the G1 years. In Japan, there are two versions of the movie, and LD sets (sometimes multiple sets, over the years) of Super Robot Life, 2010, Headmasters, Masterforce, Victory, and BW.
Transformers music releases have been very limited outside of Japan. There's the original movie soundtrack from Scotti Bros, and a variety of Vince DiCola albums (some released by Vince, others by 3H), and that's nearly it. Sadly, with the collapse of 3H that came in late 2004, it's likely that the CDs they produced will no longer be available for direct purchase, and you might have to search the secondary market.
The background music from the orignal series is not available. According to various reports (including 3H), the rights to the music are tied up between more than one company, and sorting it all out in order to do a release is going to be tricky. The composer of that music, Robert J. Walsh, has expressed interest in doing a release, and still has copies of all the music. It's just a question of getting the legal stuff dealt with.
Transformers related CDs with Vince DiCola music:
A 2-disc set from BotCon 1997. The first disc is Stan Bush material, most of it not TF related. It does, however, have new versions of "Dare" and "The Touch", and a song called "Ground Zero" by Vince that is billed as the "BotCon Theme". Disc 2 is the score to TF:TM, with the exception of the tracks that are on the Scotti Bros soundtrack. Disc 2 concludes with a track called "Legacy" which was not in the movie; it is the audition piece Vince submitted that won him the TF:TM gig. In the place of the TF:TM theme song by Lion from the original soundtrack is a rendition by Vince with vocals by Stan Bush.
Released by 3H between BotCons 1997 and 1998, this 2-disc set is a recording of the Stan Bush / Vince DiCola concert from BotCon 1997.
From BotCon 2001, this disc has the complete movie's score, including the tracks that were on the original soundtrack. It does not include "Legacy". The "Main Title" track is the same as on 'Till All Are One.
From BotCon 2001, this disc has piano solo versions of several tracks from TF:TM score, as well as a rendition of "Dare".
From BotCon 2001, this disc contains early working-versions and demos of tracks from TF:TM and from the 1997 concert.
Released by Vince in 2004, this disc is really a Vince CD, but a few of the songs have Transformers origins. The music which played on the OTFCC homepage for at least a year, as well as the music from the cancelled "Primeval Dawn 2" animation are both on this disc.
Some other, smaller pieces... Two clips of background music from the RID cartoon can be found on the homepage of Glenn Scott Lacey, the composer of the music for the English dub. The official Hasbro TF site has an MP3 of the G1 season two opening theme for download in their G1 area. Lastly, the opening theme to the Beast Machines cartoon is a song called "Phat Planet" by the band Leftfield. Naturally, you can get that song by getting some Leftfield music. A few other random pieces of music such as theme songs from European dubs of TF shows can be found in the sound bytes section of Steve-o's TF Page, and a collection of opening and ending themes in the music downloads section of TFW2005.
Note that if you are looking for a particular clip like an opening or closing theme and can't find it on the web, you might want to try a filesharing utility. In particular, try Iacon Hub, a hub for the Direct Connect system with a Transformers focus.
I should acknowledge that this is a very USA-centric answer. As far as I know the answer isn't too much different anywhere else besides Japan, where, naturally, the answer is very different. There have been tons of Japanese TF music releases, although the majority of them are image music (songs "inspired by" the shows) and opening/ending themes. There are a few original soundtracks (OSTs) in there, but not for the original series. Headmasters, Masterforce, and Victory background music was released as part of the "History of Music" set in 2004, however. If you'd like to learn more about the Japanese music, visit the music section of Nicky's TF Music and Media Site. It covers lots more than just the Japanese releases too, so you should really check it out anyway.
As noted in the TF music question, III/B/9, the movie score was released through BotCon by 3H. The original score CD, "'Till All Are One" was pressed twice but is long since sold out. They produced a second score CD, "Lighting Their Darkest Hour", which was still available in late 2004 when 3H lost their license and disappeared. It may become available again, or it may not.
The tracklist from "Lighting Their Darkest Hour" will answer that, as it includes the "missing" songs from "'Till All Are One". A few songs were seemingly retitled by Vince between the two discs, and the arrangement of songs on the latter is also a little out of whack. The most notable change is that the three "Interlude" tracks from TAAO were given proper names, and Interludes II and III -- retitled to "Destruction of Moon Base Two" I and II -- were displaced to just after the first Moon Base track.
Here's a table showing all the tracks from both discs:

Yes. Transformers fonts are addressed in the question on computer-related stuff you can download, I/B/6.
Nothing official, but there's quite a few sets of rules out there written by fans or for games that can be modified to Transformers. Here's some options:
All over the place. Three or four years ago it would have been possible to keep a list of them all with enough diligence, but these days there's just no way to maintain a comprehensive catalog. I know of a couple lists, but neither is complete, nor could they be. If you want to get an idea of the sorts of references that get made, or just read a bunch of examples, that's the place to go.
