    I'm disappointed that there is no TOC so I can see what's in it.

    Which raises the question: what exactly is 'your turf' when it comes to patristics? Which patristic suggestions should we send to you, and which should we send elsewhere?

    For the most part, it is based on who publishes it, assuming we're talking about pre-schism saints and fathers. Some works will find their way into each other's boat for various base packages or bundles, I'm sure.

    That wasn't necessarily very informative, from my point of view. If I want patristic writer x's book y, I'm not exactly going to research what English translations there are, which one is the best, and who, if any, currently owns the rights to it, just in order to know who to make the suggestion to.[;)]

    I guess I'll just let you sort it out among yourselves.[:)] My most urgent patristic wishes can be found at Add more Patristic works to CP and Add more Patristic works. Please don't let them fall between the chairs.

    No need to worry. There is such an abundance of Patristics on the way, you won't know what to do with yourself. [:D]

    In that case, I think I'll be more concerned about what to do with my finances, than what to do with myself.[;)] I hope they're mostly CP's! Though I presume the rest of the Popular Patristics will be among that abundance, and they're prepubs, unfortunately. I hope you've at least negotiated a good price for us.[:)]

    This is now over the top and closing next Friday. And the line is very flat, so there's a good chance of getting the price down. Don't miss to add/raise your bid if you want it.

    *smile*                                        Wow!

                  The Way the price is going down!!!      by Friday perhaps it might even be free   ...

    OR     a book for $1?                                      I'll be keeping an eye on this one just out of curiosity .....   (I've "bid," of course!)

                                                                                          Psalm 29:11

    Philippians 4:  4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand..........

    Gabe,

    So when can we expect the Fathers of the Church series on Pre-Pub?

    How about New City Press's massive translation of the works of Augustine?

    Looking forward to what's coming out already, so great job!

    Well, if they are looking at publishers, I fear Catholic University or the Catholic Focolare Movement probably aren't quite as high on Gabe's list as Palamas. Gabe is being slow getting us Palamas ... I know a Catholic publisher[:D]

    Gabe is being slow getting us Palamas ...

    Slow? It took Andrew a year to ship the CCC and the Encyclicals, 1,5 for Navarre, and it'll be well over two before we have the Missal, Sacra Pagina and Berit Olam. And those were all on our top 10-20 lists. And Paulist isn't even on board yet.

    I think Gabe's working pretty fast, if you ask me. He'll have to slow down soon, waiting for contracts to be finalized, and taking care of the Reformed and Lutheran markets, but so far I'm impressed. 

    Of course, Andrew's groundbreaking work must have made it easier to follow. I doubt Gabe has to spend as much time as Andrew probably has in convincing Logos that there is money to be made in the non-Evangelical markets, and publishers that there's money to be made in working with Logos. Plus he's built a large Catholic user base that will help in getting Orthodox resources produced.

    Soon.
