I'm sure that Matt is busy in his present capacity as head grader at the CGC, but I don't believe he's completely shelved this project. I do think he's planning on putting this out someday when he can draw all the information together and get it edited properly for publication, but it will happen when it happens.
This probably means NEVER then.
According to a message I had from Timely last year, the book is pretty well dead as nobody really has any time to work on it anymore.
Nor sure if this status has changed since then, but I certainly wouldn't be willing to bet even a dollar on this.
I'm surprised no one has attempted to buy out Steve and Matt's completed work and interests in the book..... and then finishing it. It may not be a huge profit engine, but it could be quite the feather in the cap. GOD BLESS....

That's a cool idea Jim but shouldn't maybe CGC consider the profit engine of slabs with pedigrees and future discoveries that could be added as editions or even just the web site as pages that could be printed and put into the binder. That and like somebody else suggested this is an important peice of history for comics and a great chance for CGC to put its brand on something that it has really had a hand in validating. But what do I know,
