I've just received this text by e-mail : "THE 9.5mm VINTAGE FILM ENCYCLOPAEDIA - January 2020 Update
The process of assembling this large volume is now almost completed. The compilation of the final content, together with text of both French and English versions was mostly completed in late summer, following the display of the photocopied Master at last year's Spring Fair. Detailed discussions with the chosen publisher and printer followed and the process of typesetting was well under way by the time of the Get Together, which enabled the final design and layout of the book to be agreed. The complete proof-read of the "typeset" version was finished just before Christmas. Rather more adjustments to correct the inevitable errors, as well as necessary changes to the style and arrangement of the six principal sections, were needed than had been envisaged but an advantage of this long process has been the ability to add further information which is still coming to light. Disappointingly the book is not ready in time to take it to the Film Fair at Argenteuil at the end of this month but if all goes according to plan the actual printing will take place during February and a further update will be issued when the volume has actually been delivered. Full details of final costs, and how to obtain your copy will be given in this next mail. Many thanks for your patience and ongoing support."
