Several Canadian forensic document examiners have contributed to a new book on the subject. This compendium covers many of the developments in the field from the last few years and provides a useful reference for document examiners and those who interact with document examiners such as lawyers and investigators.

- Typography (Zain Bhaloo, Tobin Tanaka, along with US document examiner Peter Tytell)

The book is available from Routledge in both hardcover (ISBN-9780367251550) and e-book (ISBN-9781003112228) formats.
