Greetings!  Would you consider rephrasing your question?  I would
venture a guess that no researcher may be able to discover "all"
unpublished titles and works-in-progress unless the titles and
intentions to publish are found in public access on the Internet.

Many times, publishers keep works-to-be-published under wraps until
they decide to announce them to the media.  I fear your question may
go unanswered in its current form.

I have been unable to locate a full biography of Brzezinski. It is
highly improbable that such a book is not being written. Academics who
are writing books often present portions of their work at conferences
or public seminars. I had hoped that you might be able to help me
track down who is doing it by searching on the academic networks about
relevant conferences, scholarly exchanges, etc.

Dear Jennifer,

You say that you fear that I'll only pay for information if it's the
kind I want. I don't catch your drift. Do you want me to pay more for
the kind of research you plan to do? I am willing to pay more if
necessary. As I tried to explain in my first clarification, I cannot
believe that there is no one (a scholar or a journalist) working on a
biography of him. More likely a scholar. And if it is a scholar, there
may be references to the ongoing work in scholarly reports,
newsletters, etc. I simply want to know if anyting is already
published, as well as if there is anyone known to be working on the
subject. If your research plan could answer that, I am definitely
willing to pay for it. Let me know what you would charge. Thanks a
bunch.

Thanks, but I've already read that. It's a memoir, not a biography.

Hi Luxun:
I have some information for you, and am willing to do more research
(I'm a librarian) but my fear is that you'll only pay for information
if it's the kind of information you want, if you get my drift. This
concerns me, of course. The other poster here is right--often, private
research is NOT available and if you're only willing to pay for
something that isn't available, I'm not sure if it's worth it for me
to check various bibliographic utilities (what we in the research
world upload our materials to) for you. Let me know.
Jennifer
