I just got my update yesterday. His current project is "Plastic
Aircraft Kits of the 20th Century (and Beyond)" or the PAK20 for
short. Around 2000 he had the 7th edition of "The Collectors
Value Guide", but he seems to be moving away from everything but
aircraft. He's been updating the Pak-20 yearly since it's first
publication in 2003.
He also publishes a quarterly magazine called the "Kit Collector's Clearinghouse" or KCC for short.
As far as its value, it depends on what sort of information you're
looking for. It's primarily a guide for model collectors, so he
lists models and their approximate value among collectors. He
also has some historical information on each kit maker, which I find
interesting. I got the guide because I've been selling off
collections on Ebay and other places.
He advertises in one of the modeling magazines plus in the IPMS Journal. His contact info is:

I replaced the @ symbol with the "at" so he doesn't get spammed when the spammers bots harvest this forum.
