Not IMO, Jon. After all, you're unfortunately notorious/enjoying notoriety
yourself for still having to try to get Vol.III published long after the
second edition - or at least a supplement - should have appeared.

"Life sucks, and then you die," to coin a phrase.

Remember the good old days, when there were publishing houses like Mouton
that specialized in publishing scholarly work that other publishers
ignored? Otherwise, colorless green ideas might still be sleeping
furiously.
