You should give it another try. I mean for someone like me, whose English is not his first language, can do it. I'm sure that it would be way easier for you.
I have a soft spot for BoLT. Strikes me that's another all but complete work which CT could put out without too much editorial intervention - along with colour plates & illuminated lettering - like one of those Edwardian fairy story collections.
