Where's Mr 'Big-Bucks George' when we need him?

This is what a Brill commentary set looks like. And it's only a fraction of the OT too.

What, maybe an $8,000 commentary set when you're done? (allow for Brill-flation)

I thought Logos was single-users ... no libraries. Who's the customer?

I'm seeing subscription access.

    I don't know what "George" you are speaking of since it certainly isn't me.  I'm just a poor boy.  I cite a comment on the page:

    [quote user=""]"The volumes of this new series should be in all research libraries."

    Note that it says research libraries.  That's not my library.

    I'm certainly not going to be getting it, but I'm glad Logos is getting things like these available even if the price is prohibitive for me and most others. The more that's available for integration into our libraries, the better.

    I guess it just took one person to pre-order to send that over the top.

    Weren't me.  I just replaced the ignition switch on my Eurovan and ate up all my fun money.

    Besides, I was a little leary of a literary commentary.  For a translation? How could it 'literary'?

    Then there's the claim it doesn't mess with hebrew. A hebrew translation .... well, ok!
