We should also point out that publishers like OUP often issue a less-expensive paperback after the initial printing of hardcovers--but of course that means waiting. JT I agree.

Bailey Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:24:57 +0000 http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/justintaylor/?p=6218#comment-52129 Thanks for passing this information along, Justin. This seems like a really promising volume, both using some great resources to craft a fuller narrative of Brainerd's life and tracing the many ways that Brainerd continued to live for the very thing for which he had given his life. I am looking forward to my copy and hoping I can integrate much of it into a course I am teaching this spring using Edwards as a window into the colonial Atlantic world. And should some find the price restrictive (arguing about what is reasonable seems, well, rather unreasonable), let's not forget these things called libraries and inter-library loan. I constantly find ILL a great way to read things I couldn't access otherwise. Thanks for passing this information along, Justin.

That's because it's OUP (Oxford University Press), which is an academic press. Basically, you're paying textbook prices. Every once in a while, they slip up & price something reasonably, but this apparently ain't one o' those times. ;0/ @Jay…yeah, $65.
