Scott, thanks for the additional information. I wasn't familiar with
Nunez-Pertejo's work but now see what you mean.

The full title of the book is *The Progressive in the History of English
with Special Reference to the Early Modern English Period: A Corpus-Based
Study*.

I was skimming a LINCOM publication when the titles caught my eye. LINCOM
publications aren't available via Amazon.com in the U.S., but they are
available in European versions. When I look up the ISBN listed for the text
at amazon.de, I find that the book has a copyright of 2004.

So, it is likely that I was duped by tricky semantics! The "forthcoming"
item would appear to be nothing more than the 2011 catalog, which contains
new and existing books. The other two books I noted may also be existing and
not "forthcoming."

Thanks for pointing that out!

John
