What are the top ten WBC volumes? please rank 1-10

If you could only afford to get 1 of WBC which one would you choose?

If you could afford to get 10 volumes of WBC what would you choose? Please put in order of priority.

Thank you

    Depends on if You count on them connecting to other books? For example in early December I bought the 2014 Cyber Monday Mega Pack, it contained quite various books incl. some public domain 1-2 Kings commentaries. Right now I've placed an order by email which I've added to little by little during this Week, the order hasn't been processed yet, it's from the 3-day-sale and contains the Classic Commentaries and Studies on 1-2 Kings (which was also dynamically priced so the total discount incl. dynamic was 77% and it's a small collection), and also ICC Kings from the 1950s. I have the print WBC volume of 2 Kg. If I wouldn't have the other books I wouldn't consider duplicating the WBC 2 Kg (which cites the older books) in Verbum. Exactly same thing with the CCS Jas and the new ICC Jas -volume (except I wouldn't buy a WBC Jas -volume if there even is one) - the new ICC Jas volume lists each old book except three in the Bibliography - I was unable to check whether it cites them as well as the print volume I glanced in the library doesn't have indexes. The newest 1-2 Kg commentary I have is OTL.

    That changes the question, then I can buy and look up in a software that I prefer or even as printed matter - if links don't matter the disadvantage of Verbum's/Logos's resource- and internet intense software sometimes outweighs the benefit of the current availability of WBC volumes at a low price. What I mean is that I have more under the Faithlife platform but prefer not to add to it in order to not to further lock myself into the platform. Even print copies are not too slow or cumbersome to use and I didn't need to pay too much for the print hardcover copies I received in excellent shape. I can't afford things like duplicating the greatest lexicons in Verbum/Logos and right now can't afford buying more RAM and SSDs:

    My top WBC volume is Craigie on Psalms 1-50.

    My top 10:

    • Psalms 1-50 by Craigie
    • Genesis by Wenham (2)
    • Hebrews by Lane (2)
    • Galatians by Longenecker
    • 2 Chronicles by Dillard
    • 1 & II Thessalonians (Bruce)
    • Hosea-Jonah (Stuart)
