I guess this conversation is going on, on the whole list. My apologies to all.
But happy holidays, just the same.

Dear John,
I am sure it wasn't antipathy, but rather procrastination. I suppose
what happened was is that the reviewer first negotiated access to the
website, but then waited too long before he started reading and
exploring.
Best wishes,
Wim

I hope that doesn't suggest antipathy or lack of interest; who knows.
Melville was not European, but he published Typee in England first, and
of course was somewhat cosmopolitan. At any rate, Fotis Jannidis or
Peter Shillingsburg might have some thoughts. Thanks for trying again.

Dear John,
Thank you for the tip. In fact, some time ago I already attempted to
get someone to review the electronic Typee, but unfortunately it never
materialized. I will try again.
Best wishes,
Wim

Dear Wim,
My electronic edition, "Herman Melville's Typee," is a fluid-text
approach to editing revision in both manuscript and print. It is
published through Virginia's Rotunda Imprint and has just received MLA's
CSE seal. I would welcome a review of it.

Subject: new reviews feature
Dear Colleagues,
As reviews editor for Variants, I am planning to introduce a new regular
feature in the journal with reviews of digital editions and electronic
archives. It seems only right that the European Society for Textual
Scholarship, which after all has a substantial number of members working
on these kinds of editions, should pay attention to this. At the
moment, only very few organs and organizations take the matter of
reviewing these edition at heart. In an academic climate that
increasingly depends on impact and bibliometrics, it is of huge
importance that digital editions deserve this kind of rigorous
assessment. Please do send me your suggestions of sites/editions that
could be considered-or that you would want to consider--for review.
Best wishes,
Wim
