Ah, I missed that he is a she. Couldn’t tell from the excerpt.
Anyway, looks like these people are all over the world, so it’ll have to be by telephone or email (is there a font for that yet?)

I wonder how much is online. It would be fascinating reading.The pdf files are here (they do ask that downloads be limited to one copy and are for personal use only):

And a high speed internet link would be a really good thing. The volume for the letter B is something like 35 MB.
