Help! Colorado Ice Climbing guide books?

Mountain Project has a very useful page listing all of the guidebooks for Colorado rock climbing, https://www.mountainproject.com/books/105708956, but I haven't been able to find a list of Colorado ice guidebooks. I need to compile a complete list for a research project, and so far I have Jack Robert's Colorado Ice, Rossiter's High Peaks RMNP book, Jason Nelson't Suffer Candy, and Burns' Colorado Ice Climbers Guide.

And that pretty much taps my memory, the Googles, and a swing through Neptune's and REI. 

Is there anything else out there?

There is a Charlie Fowler ice climbing guide book to the San Juans (can't remember the name of the book right now).

Life By the Drip is an ice climbing guide to the San Luis Valley.

These are 2 I can think of off the top of my head. I am sure there are more. I think there might be one for Pikes Peak, but I would need to check. Can't remember which book lists Gillette Falls, etc.

RMNP Climber's Guide, 1993 ed. by Gillet has a ice section in the back

I have published a Suffer Candy Volume 2, and update to Volume 1, and Griz has one to the Vail area called Cold Stoke.
Climbs in Charlie Fowler’s old San Juans guide are in Suffer Candy Vol 1. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
