Interesting. They don’t have 8 up on their web page for purchase yet. That’s probably wise breaking out his dictionary work from the rest. What I’d most be interested in would be an electronic version. Even a pdf which they must have to produce the book. Despite saying this is a priority on their web site they don’t have it yet. I suspect that funding and people contributing is the big problem. Although critical texts take a long time even in the best situations.
