I asked Jimmy a few times if he would consider publishing his book through amazon or similar since all the copies of the old book were coming to a point where he would have none left. But he wanted the copies already made to be special and once they were gone, they'd be gone from his possession.
At his camp a few months back, a NY based music group leader wanted a copy and expected to pay a high price but I found one for him on ebay for $60. Crazy thing is the seller took it off ebay not long after, then I messaged him if he still had it (I thought he underpriced it) but he relisted it for $60 and the guy bought it. I think $60 was pretty fair since it was already signed and Jimmy was selling them himself for $35.
Mongocane is the username of Jonathan Plombon who did the Herb Abrams book. It's hundreds of pages and full of information. It can be read in maybe a week because it's super fun. It was awesome seeing the final copy since it's been a project of his for 10 years at least.
Gary Hart's son posted on kayfabememories message board about 10 years ago, probably not specifically to discuss the book, but he disappeared pretty quickly because everyone kept asking about the book. He was hoping to get more copies published, people kept posting and posting when it would be done. I think he was gone from the board and people were still posting weeks later.
