David,
Jeff's mom may have been confused? The Reno/Tahoe book did go to print (in 1999)....I have one, and Jeff autographed it. Jeff was working on a "small town" Nevada book, that one didn't get published. I believe one or two club members were looking into getting the small town book published after Jeff passed away, but it hadn't progressed far enough for that to be feasible.

Check the club library, there may be a copy available. Unfortunately (for me) as the club site is updated, some of the pages (including the library) are put in PDF(?) format which isn't compatible with webtv, and I can no longer access those pages...or I would have looked myself.
