An update from Calum Douglas from Sunday last:


"A small update, the German language version will be released next year, probably something like October 2022. The translation has begun in earnest.
One nice thing about that version is that obviously all the quotes from German documents can be printed in their original form, we wont "double translate" my translation back to German again.

"The Italian version is more advanced in progress, and is currently in final proof reading stage, I would hope it will be available from about March 2022 onwards.
The Italian version is significantly longer than either the German or English versions, as for their market the Italian publisher decided that making it a "no-compromise enthusiasts" book
was the best way, and so we have not shrunk down any of the images, or cut any text. So its absolutely MONSTROUS, literally the size of a telephone book, 600 pages A4.
We did not cut very much text during making the Mortons version, maybe 1%, which was mostly trimming down a few huge sections of the RLM stenographic conference discussions,
some of which I`d got a bit too enthusiastic about reproducing in large contiguous blocks without cuts. Nothing spellbindling important was removed, but if you enjoy those discussions,
the Italian version will probably be a small improvement."
