Yes indeed! Just ordered it.
EDIT: Yikes, if the recent slew of pre-pub collections on each book of the Bible from Sheffield Academic Press is any precedent, I bet we can expect to see a new "Classic Commentaries and Studies on ___" collection for each major book of the Bible in the coming months. As if I didn't already have enough thousands of dollars worth of stuff sitting in my pre-pub basket. [:O]
As much as I would love to get this set, I don't think I would ever get around to reading 22 different books on Genesis. Besides I'm already am way behind on reading the previous resources I have bought.
Well, Genesis and Revelation are my two favorite books of the Bible, and I've taught from them, so it's worth it for me to own a specialized commentary collection for each of them. I don't generally read commentaries cover to cover, but they are good for searching in and skimming the sections around the verses you're studying.

I am already drowning in Pre-Pubs. It kinda feels like I am trying to drink in the ocean as each wave crashes over me. Sometimes I wish my interests were much narrower.
Classic Commentaries and Studies on Genesis (22 Vols.) looks interesting. http://www.logos.com/products/prepub/details/6496
Thanks for sharing! Missed this somehow .... Just ordered them and hope they don't come next week ... *smile* Yours in Christ, ... Mel
using Charles Spurgeon's Commenting and Commentaries, here are his reviews for some of the volumes in this Genesis commentary collection:
on Henry Alford: The works of this eminent scholar are too well known and appreciated to need even a word from us.
on Robert Smith Candlish: We venture to characterize this as the work upon Genesis, so far as Lectures can make up an exposition; we have greatly profited by its perusal. It should be in every Biblical library.
on Henry Charles Groves: Physical science, the discoveries of travellers, and the results of criticism, so far as they bear upon Genesis, are here brought within the reach of the general reader.
on James Gracey Murphy: “A work of massive scholarship, abounding in rich and noble thought, and remarkably fresh and suggestive.”—Evangelical Mag.
on Henry Blunt: Simple Expositions for family reading. Good, but not brilliant.
on Francis Close: A course of smoothly-flowing, respectable, quiet, evangelical sermons. Nobody could be so wicked as to call them sensational.
on John Cumming: Dr. Cumming’s works are not very original, but his style is flowing, his teachings are always evangelical, and he puts other men’s thoughts into pleasing language.
on Andrew Jukes: In many places far too forced, and therefore to be read with caution; but in its own spiritualizing way very masterly. Jukes dives deep.
on John S. McIntosh: Precious and edifying reflections marred by peculiarities.
on C. H. H. Wright: Intended to assist the student who has mastered the elements of Hebrew Grammar to acquire a better knowledge of that language. Rather a class-book than a Commentary.
Looking forward to see this CP make it out soon!
And here's a link to what appears to be the new community-pricing page for the same series (?), since it's getting near 100%.

Just wait till after Wednesday midday to bid, soi we have an extra week to get the price down!
Thanks for sharing Paul.
I've been anxiously waiting for this one to reach 100% in CP. I'm getting excited that it's getting close. [<:o)]
While everyone seems to be abuzz about Vyrso, Perseus, and the latest "over the top" CP, Works of Richard R. Ottley, why not place a bid for the Classic Commentaries and Studies on Genesis.
22 volumes spanning 19 different authors with some real gems!
I've been in since Nov, 2010.
I'm in at $30...for now. After Wednesday I'll raise it to $40 to hopefully give it another week on the CP page. I plan on watching this one so I don't miss out if it closes this Friday.
While everyone seems to be abuzz about Proclaim, 4.5 Beta 1, and the latest "over the top" CP, Sermons of the Late Edward Dorr Griffin (2 vols.), why not place a bid for the Classic Commentaries and Studies on Genesis.
5% left to go at $40 with some real gems!

Alright, so this thread has 15 posts and over a thousand views! Either everyone has signed up for Classic Commentaries and Studies on Genesis (22 Vols.) or people just want to read my boring posts. I'd say only a couple percent remain until this fine collection of writings will make it into pre-pub.
Won't you come? (It always worked for B.G.!)
okay, you persuaded me (along with the folks in the other thread: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/39350.aspx ). I'm in now.
Had to think about the B.G. part, but solved it without further research. Do we need some slow CCM playing in the background of CP advertising threads?[;)]
It's going OVER at any moment now! *smile*
I'm in, of course ............
My questions: Right now it is Friday evening, October 14 (EST) - if it went over this weekend, or even on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday -- When would be the cut-off Friday? Next Friday? How long will we have to get the price even lower than this fantastic price?
2 Thessalonians 3:16
I would suggest that anyone who hasn't already gotten in but wants to get in at $30. That way you will be notified when it goes over if you aren't at the proper level and can then adjust your bid. Also, you won't drive it over the line before Wednesday.
I'm in....I'm still not sure why.
Finally over the top! I just recieved the email.
Yeah, now drive the price down to $30. I don't want to change my bid — besides, Gunkel is about all I'm really interested in.
Same here.
Yeah, now drive the price down to $30.

in the words of Logos:
Bidding closes at 12:00 (PST) on Friday, 10/21/2011. Don’t miss out!
check out the other Classic Commentary sets!
Alleluia!

Peace, George!
I think that could very easily happen. *smile* We have until Friday Noon PST (High Noon!) to get the price down.
Do not forsake me, O my darling!
Yes, I think we can get it down to 30. I wouldn't want George to miss out on Gunkel's Genesis--one of the historically most important commentaries ever. Also, the notes by S.R. Driver are bound to have some gems; Skinner's work on the Divine Names is likely to be a great resource for understanding the development of source criticism; and Dillman's two volumes on Genesis are likely to have something of value in them. Anything else good in it is a bonus as far as I am concerned.
I had forgotten (and still don't remember) that Driver was in the mix. Good man. I'll take anything he wrote.
