Greetings hive mind. I am in the process of writing a book (which, I suspect, will end up being a multi-volume set) on the 'ring and...' premise (see subject line) and am looking for both references as well as submissions. I have been in active research for several months now and currently have well over 800 references. I am firmly convinced that there are at least 300-500 more lurking around out there and could use some assistance in locating them. I have a solid handle on periodicals and books for the most part. Although if you have access to something that you suspect may be rare or virtually unknown I am all ears. The big challenge right now are those dozens of individually marketed manuscripts, some with props, that detailed routines and handlings for these different variations on the overall plot. Supreme and Abbott's each had a ton of these manuscripts over the years, but they are not even remotely the only magic companies who did this. I'm not holding out any hope of finding them with props intact (although if it does happen I will be elated!) but certainly the manuscripts themselves need to be located.
My hope is to be able to purchase these manuscripts for my own personal collection and have them available once the book is set to be compiled. If any of you have any of these specialty manuscripts lurking around, gathering dust someplace please PM me and let's talk. And if you are not willing to actually part with the materials in question, please at least PM me and let's what might be done. Likewise I am looking for submissions of moves and routines for consideration to be included in the final publication. If you've got any work on the subject and would like to have it considered for inclusion please PM me and let's talk. This/these books will be THE reference on the subject and bring this massive field of research together into one place. I have long felt that I was pretty well versed in the subject and yet I have come across a bunch of stuff that I never knew existed. This work will become invaluable for those who are interested in this classic effect. I would appreciate any and all assistance or leads that you might have. Steer clear of the obvious stuff. I've got that well covered. But if you've got info on something that is buried deep in the literature, or serious work of your own, by all means drop me a note. I appreciate your time. Thank you so much. I hope to hear from YOU very soon! Mark Strivings

As a novice, I am keen to read the book when it comes out. Roughly when will it see the light?

I like the idea, Mark. I have nothing to offer, but am looking forward to the publication.
