Ricci was active in book creation primarily 1989 to 1992, evidently, with 6 titles plus 3 cover illustrations, I find and report here.

From 2006-08-19 [1] to 2009-02-11 [2] (the earliest and latest Internet Archive captures) Ricci maintained a small website with homepage biographical blurb that did not change. Among other things, "He has illustrated 10 books ...". Even as at least one new book was published, The Lord is My Shepherd, one of numerous picture book editions of the 23rd Psalm [3].

There are 19 hits for "au:Ricci, Regolo," at WorldCat [4]. (That is two more than search for au: "regolo ricci", which I used for the article yesterday; how odd that the former alone hits one omnibus OCLC 850093346 and The Grand Canal OCLC 22277013.) Distinct titles by earliest date at WorldCat

Those are 14 listings, or 11 books illustrated excluding the historical novels. Amazon.com shows the same 10 titles with later editions for four of them [*]. --P64 (talk) 17:29, 23 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

New section Regolo Ricci#Selected works now lists the three early picture books written by Michael Bedard 1989/90/91 and The Market Wedding 2000/2014. The same four books are covered in the new prose paragraphs.
At AskArt.com, Ricci is called "active/lives in Canada" [6]. Tumblr shows two paintings, one for The Market Wedding [7]. --P64 (talk) 18:11, 23 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
