After a long career as principal trumpet with the Cincinnati Symphony, Phil Collins (the other one) has written a series of books that are significant additions to the literature. The etudes are exceedingly musical and fun to play, and are peppered with words of advice and encouragement. They are highly recommended!

Classic Style is the newest book by Phil Collins. It is a wonderful collection of melodies by 47 different composers, from Albinoni to Wieniawski. These are not orchestral excerpts, but melodies drawn from the entire classical repertoire, in keys and registers that are appropriate for the trumpet (and many other instruments). Each is accompanied by a comment from the author like the following (referring to Bizet’s Symphony in C): “In the unlikely event that this oboe solo is ever given to the solo cornet, you’ll be ready!”
This is a unique book in a number of ways: First, it offers insight into the compositional style of most of the great classical composers. While the melodies are not entirely lyrical they comprise the majority, so it can be considered a lyrical etude book. As a jazz musician who is more familiar with Ellington than Elgar, I’ve found these etudes to be an education in the compositional style of most of the great classical composers, and a study in melodic composition.
