My large reference library includes all the standard works with more than 100 books on the subject. I’m a member of all major autograph organizations (PADA - Professional Autograph Dealers Association, Manuscript Society and so on) and the author of several published articles and reference books incl. the standard works: “John F. Kennedy – autograph study” and “Presidents of the United States – AUTOPEN GUIDE”.
