Anyone know if Jeff Walters is still around?  If so, any knowledge if he has interest in making a 4th edition?

You guys don't have the new 4th edition?? I just got it in the mail yesterday. tounge Kidding of course. I think I've seen this discussion many times and I agree with you guys it would be nice to have a updated price guide. Now I do think having Jeff Walters input in the new guide would be great but I don't think it's necessary he writes it. Now hear me out. Apparently from all I've read and heard he is no longer involved with collecting and fell of the face of the earth. So how would he be able to put together a accurate value book without the input of others more familiar with today's market? And If that's the case then why have him write it?? He wrote his part of collecting history and we all appreciate it and have referenced and learned lots from his book but I think his silence is telling us it's someone else's turn.  Now I'm not knocking him, he knows more about machines then I probably ever will but I believe it needs to be someone at the top of there game in the industry today that writes the new book. Not sure who that should be but I could name several people on here with lots of knowledge and experience. So Jeff Walters who do you nominate?......  help

PS. Now I know some members personally know him so if you could get us the final answer to the question "will there be a 4th edition?" question that would be great. Please and Thanks  biggrin
Or maybe he could reply himself??

It would actually be quite simple really. I reference that book still a few times a year, not for the pricing, more for the rarity guide and the dimensions and the brief history of each model. All that will never change. The only thing that needs to be updated is just the pricing. I think we all have a pretty good idea what the new pricing should be, give or take a few bucks here and there.

I think the rarity scale needs to be updated now that new machines have surfaced since the 3rd edition was published. Just one example. He lists a Mills 65 as more rare then a Mills 45?? I also think that new machine discoveries or info could be added to the book as well. I hear what your saying about just doing a revised price guide and it would be helpful but I'd love to see a new book or download. One with better resolution pics as well. I can dream can't I? Lol

I  just spoke to a gentleman this weekend who said Jeff has a store-front in Independence, MO. Said that Jeff offered to help him restore his machine.

I'm very interested in seeing his values. Are they going to be real world prices or based on what he charges?? I would guess his restored values will be high otherwise he may upset his previous customers. We shall see...
