Can anyone list any of these books?
I did some research and found:
Ultimate Spider-Man
Best of Spider-Man
Frank Miller's Spider-Man
Ultimate Marvel Team-UP
Origin
Alias
& Punisher
If anyone knows the others that are out or to be released that would be great.

I thought the Ultimate books were all paperbacks with B&W printing.
The Frank Miller book is out, and I believe it's a HC.
There are several Marvel Masterworks HCs devoted to Spiderman. Those contain ten sequential issues, reprinted on glossy paper. Some of the older ones were short printed and fetch good prices. Check on eBay for those.
You might want to swing by http://www.budplant.com and have a look. They have a nice selection of stuff.

Buck, the paperbacks with B&W printing you're thinking of are the "Essential" series which reprint 24 or more issues at once. The Masterworks series is great and I have a bunch of the original printings of those from the early 90's.
The books mentioned by Al & I are large and often thick, impressive hard covers that I can't get enough of.
Al, thanks for the info. I forgot about Daredevil: Yellow which I actually have. I didn't know about the Bendis Daredevil but now I'm really looking forward to it. I'm not a big fan of Bruce Jones' Hulk but I like the artists so I guess I'm on the fence on that one. I can't seem to track down a copy of Origin but I'll keep looking.
Thanks again.

That's what I get for being a casual fan. 
I remember the Ultimate series being announced, but I've never seen any of them. Looking at the Amazon links, and going by what you guys write here, I might have to seek a few out.
The various Masterworks volumes, new and old, are all quite impressive. I have two of the Avengers volumes (covering issues 11-20 and 21-30, prime time for my man Don Heck.), the Silver Surfer 1-6, and the X-Men volume for 111-120.

The Marvel hardcovers are really nice.
Just got the hardcover of Morrison's "New X-Men" and it is a thing of beauty. Nice paper, over-sized format, original story proposal in the back, and a couple of unpulished pages. It also reprints the 2001 Annual that Marvel mysteriously never reprinted in the paperbacks. (I have to wonder why they didn't as it introduced Xorn and set up the "Germ Free Generation" storyline.)
I'll be picking up the X-Force hardcover when it comes out in a few months. And (hopefully) "The Ultimates" as well. Hitch's artwork will look absolutely stunning in the over-sized format. ("Hopefully" because it hasn't been announced yet, but I'm expecting one as soon as they get enought issues out.)

Buck, you are abosolutely right on the Masterworks. I have all of the original Spider-Man ones (before the cover design was changed), plus the first two X-Men, at least the first Avengers, the first two Fantastic Four, first Hulk & First Daredevil. Then I ran out of money.

It looks as though Amazon has Origin in stock, if you click on the link I set up. Might want to grab it there.
I actually only own the Alias and Ultimate Spider-Man hardcovers. Jones' Hulk didn't quite hit the right beat in the first few story arcs, so I'm almost certainly not up for that one. I'm strongly considering Bendis' Daredevil, despite my general aversion to the character. The Marvel hardcovers are amazing, but small press stuff has been monopolizing my money lately.

New X-Men is the other title I'm back and forth on. I own both trade paperbacks, but I haven't yet decided if they'll win a place in the permanent collection. I have to see where this is going, first.
