Richie,
I too have been waiting with anticipation, but it is a massive collection and they are a pretty meticulous bunch. I would imagine there might also be problems with the flow of funding. All of the people working on this are relying on it for some of their income, not retired like me. Patience, my friend. I'm not sure who is currently working on the texts but an email to David might turn up what you want.

The missing broadside/chapbook is right at the very top of my wants list. The people I know who live close enough to Bristol are all very busy with their own important projects.

As soon as I get time a useful study would be which elements of the story have survived in English versions, or perhaps rather which elements haven't survived.
