Thank you, Aleksandar.

And speaking about the price, do you know if the book will become available digitally on Oxford Academic (and if so, when)?

OUP have told me: 

We’re expecting the online edition to be published in our October upload and I think that this is scheduled for around 22nd October.

Best wishes,

Rupert
