Yes, he published a series of books on casino-related collectibles a while back. The one on casino chip collecting (that you mention) plus a few others on playing cards, dice (?), and a couple of others. The publishing company of his books is his company. Based in Florida, I think. (I'm recalling from memory.)

There's at least a couple of his books in the club library.

If you really want to dig, I think he took out an advertisement on his books in the club magazine around the time they were first published.

He was a member at the time he wrote the books. Don't know if he's still active or not.

I've corresponded with him (emails) back then, when I was doing the club library, but nothing recent.

The Las Vegas stores like Gamblers General Store and Gamblers Book Club used to stock his books, but I don't know it they still have them or not.
