In 2007, as Punk's 30th anniversary was approaching a benchmark date, 3 coffee table books about punk rock hit the market, and each of them contains a contribution from Theresa.

Punk 365
by Holly George-Warren is a comprehensive look back at punk rock's earliest days and includes 3 of Theresa's vintage punk rock photos.

Bomp! by Suzy Shaw and Mick Farren is a biography of Bomp, the magazine, record shop and label that not only defined a genre, but whose founder, the late Greg Shaw, was responsible for many accomplishments, the least of which was being one of the first editors to publish writing by the late Lester Bangs. Bomp! contains dozens of Theresa's photos, including ones she took for the label that served as Bomp's promotional, publicity and album cover pictures.

Finally, The Official Punk Rock Book of Lists by Amy Wallace and punk rock's King of All Men, The Dictators' Handsome Dick Manitoba is an entry into the Book of Lists franchise and includes Theresa's list, which is based on her experiences working at the Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood, California during punk rock's early days.

In October 2006, Steven Lee Beeber's The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB's: A Secret History of Jewish Punk was published and it includes a vintage Theresa K. photo of Stiv Bators.
