There's no doubt that it was a monster project, especially when he was doing it. There was nowhere near as much research that had been done or resources available at that time, so it was basically all on him. It may be as simple as that, but I've always wondered.

It would be nice if just Vol's 1-3 were updated.

He published a couple of articles intended for the later volumes I think but that was it.

As someone who was involved in a similar project, I can say that it is a tremendous amount of work which makes little or no money, or loses money. The hobby should be grateful that Lew did what he did.

I'm grateful Lew did what he did. Even without 4,5 & 6 I'm happy to have 1,2 & 3 in my library.
