Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Søren Holst <sh AT teol.ku.dk>]

On behalf of professors Thompson and Müller, I take the liberty of sending 
the lists a little plugging for the forthcoming Niels Peter Lemche 
Festschrift. Although 15 of the 30 articles are in English (14 Danish, 1 
Norwegian), the book still has to make it on Danish market conditions, which 
in this case means the publisher demands a certain number of copies sold in 
advance by subscription to ensure that he's not throwing money out the window.

By subscribing you get the 450 page book at app. two thirds the full price, 
i.e. US$ 37,- [DKK 225,-] (+ package and posting) rather than the full 53,- 
[DKK 325,-], plus you get the option of having your name included in the list 
of congratulants.

being edited by Mogens Müller and Thomas L. Thompson. In thirty articles, a
