Maybe there are some new Noet users who follow this forum, but don't look much at the General one, and haven't yet discovered Community Pricing. If so, let me tell you that you are about to miss out on some great deals.

• Until noon PST today, you can get Sophocles' Greek Lexicon of the Roman and Byzantine Periods (from B.C. 146 to A.D. 1100) for $20, through the  E. A. Sophocles Collection (4 vols.).

• For a little while longer you can get Lewis and Short's Latin Dictionary for $24, or perhaps even less if enough people sign up.

•Further down the line there's Jastrow's Dictionary of the Targumim, the Talmud Babli and Yerushalmi, and the Midrashic Literature for (currently) $20, and Stewart’s A Practical Arabic Grammar for (currently) $4.

• You can also find for example the Encyclopedia Britannica (32 vols.), the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (2 vols.), the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology (3 vols.), and lots and lots of Loeb volumes.

    Thanks for the reminder fgh (lol, did you know the spell correct thingie wants to change your handle to "ugh" [:D]) - lots of good stuff in there I didn't know about.  Hard to keep up with all of this, lol.  I see the Lexicon you mentioned in that other thread now.  Cheers!

    Thanks for the links fgh. Decided that a good Latin dictionary might prove useful to this IFB (Independent Fundamental Baptist, although not in good standing since I joined an SBC church. Worse, I talk nice to non-Baptists [:D])

    It now costs $79. Sorry if you missed it but there is still time for Lewis and Short!

    So what's happening with the Lewis & Short?  Is it still loitering in Community Pricing Purgatory?

    The sad thing is that Logos revealed that it would be over the top if only half of those bidding less than the going price increased their bid accordingly.

    O’er better waves to speed her rapid course
    The light bark of my genius lifts the sail,
    Well pleased to leave so cruel sea behind;
    And of that second region will I sing,
    In which the human spirit from sinful blot
    Is purged, and for ascent to Heaven prepares.

    It sure does seem to be lingering.
