The update has been completed and an updated version of The Modern Hobby Guide To Topps Chewing Gum: 1938 To 1956 is now available for free download (in color).
There is now a DRM free PDF version at The Internet Archive:

The scribd.com edition, which some people had Facebook sign in issues with, has also been updated:

A seriously large number of people requested a print on demand version and one from lulu.com will be available in about a week; it's actually done but I am awaiting a review copy before I post the link. This is a black & white edition and it will sell for $24.95. I tried to do a color version but it priced out at almost $100, so abandoned any hope of that. Except for the nicer cover, this exactly replicates the free, downloadable versions. I want to to alert people thought to the fact the Scribd.com and lulu versions have some artifacts in the checklists I cannot get rid of, consisting of a whole lot of randomly thickened lines appearing within many of them. The DRM free version at the Internet Archive does not have this problem and I suspect it is DRM related.
Thanks to all of you who clicked in to scribd.com-I am at 3,500 reads and counting!
