Does anyone know the status of Ron Keurajian's book?

I just bought something from Ron, but had no idea he was working on a book. The hobby is always in need of good and well written autograph guides. I hope he gets support and a publisher. I'll be in line for a copy.

I agree; I thought the Jimmy Spence/John Mitnick "Team Baseballs" book was very informative

I am looking forward to the book as well. The forgers really loved Mark Allen's Baker book and the belief at the time what many 19th Century signatures "are suppose to look like" and what "the forgers have come to believe is true", will be refreshed. After all, I have authentic exemplars of Keefe and Brouthers and they didn't sign ANYTHING like what the perception is/was. They didn't sign their names like ten year olds, where it gave forgers a guide and you know what auction house ends up with cut and album page signatures in quantities. Ron is missing like six or seven Hall Of Famers (including John Clarkson) and I don't understand why he just doesn't "check out the Coach". After all, Clarkson balls, bats, cuts, pages... The rest he needs are those obscure Negro League players inducted a few years back. Should open some eyes.

I've been looking forward to his book since I first heard he was writing one a couple of years ago. Any source that increases my knowledge base, so that I can add to my collection, is always welcome.
My hope is that a lot of people outside of this forum, educate themselves with material like this. Between that and the many people that consistently point out the bogus material that is out there, maybe we can make a dent.

It's been almost a year since this thread. Does anyone have any updated info about Ron and his book? Still looking forward to seeing it.
