Stanley and Wendy (his wife) Porter are publishing a volume entitled, New Testament Greek Papyri and Parchments: New Editions.
It looks like a great book providing text critical resources to the very few people and libraries in the world that can afford and $237 book.
So, I’m disappointed. Maybe I’ll have a change in a school library someday to peruse its pages. But until then, I can only dream about it.

thanks, Nathan.
Agreed, George.

That is pricey. I feel cheap now cause I’m not buying the commentaries I’m missing unless they are under $20 a piece.

I only spend more than that when I have a gift certificate.

the beauty of living in England is that I can reason to myself: “Well two-hundred dollars is only ONE-hundred pounds”… I do like the look of that book… But on the other hand, one-hundred pounds is like 700 shekels, which in turn is probably 12000 rupee or something… okay forget that idea

Is Englands economy doing so well that 100 pounds is a decent price for a book? Hmmm…I don’t know if I’d pay even $100 for a book.

Nah I wouldn’t pay 100 pounds… but 100 does sound like less than 200 - mind you I’m no mathematician, so don’t quote me on that

I’ll take that.

Great stuff, but too pricey! I’ll have to deprive myself of books for 8months to get that one. I don’t think I can do that.
