Was going through some old Video Watchdogs and came across a mention of this proposed book. Anyone know what happened to it?

Bill died of a heart attack, so this book project -- and his proposed book on Anthony Mann, MANN OF THE WEST -- died with him. He had a lot of health and personal problems in his last years, so it's unlikely that much actually got written toward this project. He did publish some material pertaining to Bill Grefé, HG Lewis, and perhaps Brad Grinter in for the FORT LAUDERDALE SUN-SENTINEL, which you might be able to track down through your library.
