Hi Reinhard/Ron,

Sorry, I haven't been following the thread, so am not quite sure about why
you are in South Africa and what your mission is regarding Afrikaans. I
scanned your list and saw that two authoratitive works about Afrikaans
aren't on your list:

Die Afrikaanse Woordelys en Spelreels (Wiki says: Die *Afrikaanse woordelys
en spelreëls* (*AWS*) is 'n publikasie van die Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir
Wetenskap en Kuns<http://af.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suid-Afrikaanse_Akademie_vir_Wetenskap_en_Kuns>met
spelreëls, 'n woordelys en 'n afkortingslys vir
Afrikaans <http://af.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrikaans>. Die eerste uitgawe het
in 1917 <http://af.wikipedia.org/wiki/1917> verskyn, en dit is sedertdien
gereeld bygewerk. Die
Taalkommissie<http://af.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taalkommissie>van die
Suid-Afrikaanse
Akademie vir Wetenskap en
Kuns<http://af.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suid-Afrikaanse_Akademie_vir_Wetenskap_en_Kuns>stel
hierdie publikasie op met die primêre doel om leiding te gee ten
opsigte van spelling.)

And the Tweetalige Woordeboek (Bosman). Check all the details here:
https://www.alibris.com/search/books/qwork/6854223/used/Tweetalige%20woordeboek%20:%20Afrikaans-Engels,%20Engels-Afrikaans

There are also a plethora of technical Afrikaans dictionaries.

This might interest you:

Generally speaking www.kalahari.net is considered the best online bookstore,
although I couldn't find the Bosman dictionary there.

Hope this is useful?
