Hi Mike
Yes, Yrjo did respond directly with information about the site. Initially the publishers responded (in GErman) that the book wasnt available in Englsih. However, after a few trials and getting German speaking colleagues to translate for me, I managed to communicate with someone in English. And the book is of course in English! This is the contact person with whom I communicated:

Dear Michael,
It sure looks like a tremendously important work - as do the rest in the series...
I dont know if Yrjö/anyone responded directly to Mary's message (copied below - have checked the archive in case I deleted anything) but the website http://www.ich-sciences.de/en/frame_text.htm supplies all the books in that series - sadly my German is non-existant even in the English version of the site its hard to work out which ones are in that language.
"the editors express the hope that the juxtaposition of all available texts will stimulate the users to read and possibly to translate them." - can the community take this as a plea from one monoglot (well - apart from a smattering of Cymraeg!) on behalf of too many others?
Best wishes,
m

I also erroneously wrote that the book has 23 chapters. It actually has 18 chapters and 23 authors.
Cheers,
Yrjö Engeström
