Thanks for posting this, Gaspare. I for one would like to see Gerd's excellent Guide to West Wall Rings updated and published in English. I already have a version in German, which I can (kind of) read but English is my mother tongue.

I can understand your dilemma about your own book perhaps helping the fake ring fraternity. My opinion is that fakers and frauds are with us to stay regardless. Sure some may reference your book to produce better fakes but I reckon that that will happen anyway. At the same time, your book about TR rings, a work of many years with Goetz, will be an invaluable reference for collectors everywhere. To my knowledge, there is not a single published book on TR rings. Your book would be unique and fill an enormous gap.

Cheers,

Stephen
