My apologies if this comes across as a rude question, I definitely do not mean it that way. I am just trying to learn more.
Thank you and have a great Friday!

Hi Robbie,
The book was privately published about 25 years ago, I know of no digital version. Publishing years for a specific postcard us not listed in the guide. The year is typically estimated based upon the type of postcard, prelinen, prelinen white border, linen, chrome, continental along with the view of the ballpark and what features may or not be present. Such as newer seating, background buildings, auto styles, clothing styles signage, exterior/interior painting..... For real photo postcards the stamp block design is a key for estimating the date the postcard was produced. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions. Good luck with your collection. Thank you.
