As someone who has studied Balthasar for over 35 years, I am happy to see not only new editions but the entire Balthasar site.
I am concerned, though, after following one link and ending up at Ignatius's Adrienne von Speyr site. Writing on her "Book of All Saints," the description says, "In this powerful spiritual work, the reader is able to participate in the devotional and spiritual life of the Church throughout the centuries by learning how numerous saints and devout people prayed." No - we learn how von Speyr IMAGINED they prayed, and as most people will find when reading her imagined reconstructions, some of them seem reasonable while others seem way off track, more a result of her personal like or dislike for the saint rather than any true insight.
