Er, "cleared 17 Sep 2003" makes the clearance 19 months old, not 7. Would the book likely contain musical notation? If so, that challenge might account for it's sitting in someone's to-do pile for so long.
I'd advise you to go ahead and do it yourself since the clearance is so stale. If you haven't already, you might want to wander over to Distributed Proofreaders (www.pgdp.net)--an inquiry about the Helmholtz book on DP's Content Providers forum might prove useful.
I wouldn't call that clearance "stale" exactly .. Juliet Sutherland for example has a huge number of clearances from 2003-ish that will eventually be scanned and processed. The 1997 one though I would definitely proceed on. Your point about those being more difficult or delayed due to musical content is certainly valid, though. Cheers!
