Where are the unpublished books?

At the end of the documentary, details are given about new books that are supposed to be published between 2015 and 2020, including more of the Glass and Caulfield families. However, it is now two-thirds into 2016, and I haven't heard anything about upcoming publications.

Does anyone know more about this? Even the almighty Amazon has no info. These books would basically print money for their publisher, so I presume there is some sort of legal wrangling going on somewhere.

I know I would like to see more Glass stories. (Sorry; couldn't resist.) I mean, one of them is about Seymour's life after death! And if there are WWII novels, those would probably be powerful, too. Come on, publishers!

Also interested in more about the Vedanta religion as well. It is clear that Salinger is controlling this from his grave through the trust he created. There are no publisher contractual relationships so this could be sold to the highest bidder. Could you imagine being a publisher and getting that call? His son and widow control all the cards. I am getting eager and not younger so come on JD!

The documentary/book asserts that the material is set to begin publication sometime from 2015-2020. So there is still 3 and a half years for publication to begin. But it is indeed frustrating that there is no recent news on the matter. :(

I thought I read somewhere that they are in the library at Princeton, available only to select faculty/students (read only) no check out allowed. But this was a while ago.
