Still "forthcoming"? Not quite what we were told on April 8 of this
year:

"My editor Kim Everingham is arriving on April 17th for a two week
stay
here in Salt Lake City. We hope to finish the final drafts and send
them off to the printers at that time. Once the drafts go to press,
it will take about four weeks for the books to be produced. I
anticipate having books in my hands ready to ship to people on or
about June 1st. " [end of quote]

As Yogi Berra would say, this is "deja vu all over again". The same
thing happened with the 1st edition of RPA in 2004 and, to a lesser
extent, MCA in 2005.

No doubt this will allow the author to continue to correct the errors
and omissions in the first editions - including those in the Courtenay
and Kekewich families which I pointed out last week.

As to those who have unwittingly pre-ordered these books expecting
delivery some time ago....caveat emptor.
