Hey Caryl, thanks a lot for the heads-up. Briefly looking over the ToC it seems that this is a very comprehensive book indeed which contains many of Guzman's projects which we know and love. :-)
I had previously also spoken to him about a translation to English and also hope that we can organize something. I'd definitely be happy to set aside some hours in April to translate a chapter or two.
