I wasn't going to write here, because I haven't read the book.
However the quote from the summary referring to paper is of course a major blunder.
Now it may be that the newer book makes it clear that the author is aware that the MS is not on paper but on parchment - someone might have seen this - but it demonstrates the lack of seriousness in the whole thing.
Even the short blurb has numerous mistakes and statements that are not supported by evidence.
The January 1912 date comes out of nowhere, and the only thing of interest I have seen is the proposed contact (correspondence?) between Voynich and Wellcome. A source for that would be interesting.
All in all, as far as I can tell, this author has put in only a tiny fraction of the time and effort that Rich has.
