I am very impressed by the number of copies they have collated and the
thoroughness of their editing.
Re the revised Longman FQ: the annotations were submitted in late November,
the text in two batches because the first two were lost: in December and in
early January. Since the annotations and text do not need to be
rekeyboarded, the edition should be out this year. But I recall that I made
such forecasts for several years with the Spenser Encyclopedia.
Cheers, Bert
