So I guess it's not updated that often because there are a lot of proofs with unknown numbers. Unless they really are unknown. Even here there are a number that say un-known.
That's OK though. A little mystery is good.
Paul doesn't collect Proofs anymore (he's too busy collecting publishing contracts!) so he might not be updating at all. Solid numbers on quantities of proofs/ARCs published are often completely unknown. Unless someone has a contact in the individual publishing houses (like Brian Freeman at CD) who knows the info and is willing to share, it's often just guesswork based upon what shows up in people's collections. Proofs are meant to be internal working documents, so some publishers may not track quantities produced at all as technically they're not meant to be released to the public.
