While you're at it, I'd love to see Logos carry a lot more of SBL's monographs:

    I notice on Amazon, that just since Rosie made this suggestion, the used price on Amazon has already DOUBLED!!

    (I squeaked in at $2.03 which is STILL higher than Matthew's average library price).  I am looking forward to reading it though. Certainly a Logos version would be nice.

    There is a good article on Dura Parchment 24 in this one.

    See, my suggestions carry weight. Amazon second hand sellers see me recommend something, and they know the demand will skyrocket so they raise their prices. [:)]

    So do mine—I need to go on a diet since even walking the dog 4x/day or so doesn't seem to help much.

    As noted above, I ordered a used copy before the Amazon used price more than doubled. Whew.

    But what a 'delicious' book!  I don't know the tastes of other forum members, so here's a sampling:

    - Discussion of the 1897 Oxford debate regarding the Textus Receptus (JL North seems to try again to get a stake through its beating heart)

    - Using probability theory to 'unlock' textual history (G Farthing)

    - Syriac evidence for the 'pre-Johnine text' of the gospel (JW Childers)

    - Where is Emmeus? (Rosie mentioned this one)

    - Dura-Europos (Rick mentioned this above, and now we have Rick's work in the same text)

    Nifty book! 

    I don't know if anyone likes to read Dean Forbes stuff on OT textual patterns; this book is a nice complement in the NT gospels.  If you're not familiar with Dean Forbes' analyses here's a sample uploaded from his site:
