Dike has contributed to the following books on Texas Art: Dictionary of Texas Art by Paula and Michael Grauer in 1999 and Texas Painters, Sculptors and Artists by John and Deborah Powers, 2001. He is recognized nationally as an authority of Texas art and has joined Dallas Fine Art Auction to share his knowledge.
