Dear Jonathan,
As one who was "almost" on the translation teem, I can say that the translators are finished. But OUP always has technical problems with technical books.
In 1978 Eugene Ulrich said he would soon have the 3 Samuel Scrolls from Cave 4 published in Oxford's series Discoveries in the Judaean Desert. In the late 90's he said it was "in the press". It still has not been released! All kinds of secondary
scholarship has been written about them, but they have still not come out with the formal printed edition. (Yes, the text has been available through secondary sources, but not the primary printed edition and editorial analysis!)
So, don't be surprised if they issue NETS in fascicles before the whole is printed together (such as they did with Biblia Hebraica Stutgartensia. The new translation by the American Greek Orthodox Church (as part of a Greek-scriptures study bible) might
be available first.
