I have updated a few more of the books by Venerable Ledi Sayādaw. No great changes, just reformatting and correcting some errors.
A Manual of the Dhamma — A reply by the Sayādaw to thirteen questions posed by lay Buddhists regarding how to deal with shameless and immoral monks.
Cow Dhamma — Part One of the Goṇasūra Dīpanī on meat-eating and intoxicants.
A Talk on Intoxicants and Gambling — Part Two of the Goṇsūra Dīpanī on intoxicants, horse-racing, and gambling.

Re: Books by Venerable Ledi Sayādaw
Thank you venerable, for your work in spreading the dhamma.
A question: did you write the editor's forward to the Manual of Dhamma?

Re: Books by Venerable Ledi Sayādaw
Yes. You will see my name as the editor on the book's title page.
I have added my name as the editor to the index page on the web site.
Just updated: A Manual of the Excellent Man too.

Re: Books by Venerable Ledi Sayādaw
A Manual of the Path Factors completes the set of those works by the Venerable Ledi Sayādaw that I had published before.
I have also updated Buddhist Wisdom by the late Venerable Mahāgandhayon Sayādaw, U Janakābhivamsa. That is the only one of his I have edited.

Re: Books by Venerable Ledi Sayādaw
Venerable,
Thank you for the links. I started reading "A Talk on Intoxicants and Gambling" and today it was very helpful at a certain moment of the day.

Re: Books by Venerable Ledi Sayādaw
I just added A Manual of Religious Heritage to my site.
This is only a short article of 16 pages, written while the Sayādaw was travelling on a ferry to Rangoon from Akyab.

Re: Books by Venerable Ledi Sayādaw
I wish I could do more, but its very time-consuming to edit the longer books. I don't think many will be interested in the more academic works like the Pāramī Dīpanī or the Āhāra Dīpanī even if I could find time to edit them.
My site is back up again now — it seems like my free hosting service has to do some server maintenance about once a month, and it usually seems to be on a Sunday.

Re: Books by Venerable Ledi Sayādaw
A Manual of the Excellent Man completes the set of Ledi Sayādaw's works currently available.
It never ceases to amaze me that every time I edit a book I find some more errors — mostly nothing serious, but still worth fixing.
I might add some new titles later — I have plenty more of the Sayādaw's works, but all require more time than I have to spare at the moment.

Re: Books by Venerable Ledi Sayādaw
Thank you again, Bhante.
I am quite partial to the Sayadaw's writings. I had the opportunity to meditate in his meditation cave by the Chindwin River a few years ago.
Can you please tell me, are there any of his works that have not been translated into English yet?
kind regards,
Ben
