Hey there all.

I've got some questions about the Pre Pub offering on the 34 Volume N.T. Wright collection.

Mainly, I'm wanting to know if anyone (especially all y'all at Logos) can answer the following:

A few of the SPCK volumes have the same titles as books he's published with Harper's and others in the US.  I notice significant differences in the page counts between the two.  Can you tell me what differences, if any, there are in the SPCK title and the domestic titles 'Surprised by Hope', 'Simply Christian', 'Paul: Fresh Perspectives', and 'The Challenge of Jesus'?  I understand that you may not have ready answers, but I suspect it's a question that others will have as well. and the domestic titles ‘Surprised by Hope’, ‘Simply Christian’, ‘Paul: Fresh Perspectives’, and ‘The Challenge of Jesus’?  I understand that you may not have ready answers, but I suspect it’s a question that others will have as well.

I'm all over ordering it if I can be sure that these titles are the same as those offered in the print editions.

    AFAIK, the content should be the same (other than US/UK spelling differences.)

    I noticed the difference in page counts as well, but that's probably nothing more than spacing (spacing, leading), font size etc.

    For example, when Surprised By Hope was first released, I was listening to one of Tom's MP3s on the launch trip. Both (US/UK) had been launched at the same time, but he had the UK book in his hand and asked an audience member to hold up the US edition so people could see what the cover looked like. The content is materially the same.

    I've signed up for the new pre-pub collection too.
