As I recall, you publish your annual list of books purchased the previous year and the last two have had nothing from Eisenbraun’s. At least you are still checking things out there.
Greg: You’ll notice a link to Eisenbrauns as a permanent fixture at the top of my blog, and if you read my book reviews, I generally link to them when they carry the book in question. I also read James Spinti’s blog religiously and regularly notify my readers of Eisenbrauns sales. I support them in every way that I can.
Nick,
And we appreciate it : ) If you were more of an OT guy, we’d send you stuff to review, too…

Eisenbraun’s recently had the NA27 (a $60 book) on sale for $15 in their DOTD. I couldn’t resist. Then a few days later the clothbound BHS (a $70 book) for $20. How could I resist that, I ask you? I am waiting for the LXX to show up in the DOTD.
Greg,
I don’t think that will happen anytime soon. I would love to, but I have to get the publisher to give me a big enough discount to make it happen…that and the Vulgate (I need that one myself!)
James
James: I appreciate all you’ve done already! I hope to review one of those Paternoster volumes in March (Kay’s book on Owen’s Trinitarian spirituality).
Alas, I’ll probably never be an OT guy, but I do like to read the OT (most of the times I teach in my church it’s something from the Torah or the Prophets) and books about it. I just wish I was better equipped to critique them (esp. given your excerpts of John Anderson’s monograph; I’d love to get my hands on that).
Greg: Both were great deals. I’ve gotten most my GBS texts with earned gift certificates. The only one I really feel like I need to get at this point is the large print NA27, but I technically have that already since it’s the text used in the NA27-NET diglot. I’d also like the Greek-Latin NT but that’s always been at the bottom of my list.
James: That Vulgate is exquisite! I just wish I had more occasion to use it. I also wish I could actually read Latin. Knowing English and a little bit of Spanish helps me to fumble through; but I’ll probably never be able to really utilize it. Still though, it looks nice on the shelf! ;-)
My Vulgate is an old one that I picked up used. The cover is falling off and the binding is broken; the nice thing is that it has the new Vulgate in the Psalms. And, it works, so I have a hard time justifying the expense for a new one…one of these days I’ll have to bite the bullet, though. Maybe I should try and trade in a few of my NA 26/NA 27 extras : )
You really should get the large print NA 27; your eyes will thank you as you get older!
James
