I can't at the moment find the original message, but earlier this month
there was a discussion here about sources for the Liddell/Scott lexicon.

Today's mail brought a flier for the "Religious Book Club" (actually a
pseudonym for the CBD in Peabody Mass) which offers the (new) 9th edition
for $119.95 (list $135).

The newly revised supplement is also available at $59.95 ($65).

That's still a pretty good deal, but not as good as OUP was offering to
members of SBL/AAAR and APA/AAA who got their special catalogs for Religion
and Classics; as a I recall it the Religion Catalog offer was good until
Jan. 15, the Classics Catalog offer was good until the end of March (3
months following the professional association's annual meeting). The
special price was for $100 for the single volume that included the new
Glare supplement.

The announcement on an earlier post read;

>>>>_A Greek-English Lexicon_ compiled by Henry George Liddell and Robert
>>>>Scott. Revised and augmented throughout by Sir Henry Stuart Jones, with

>>>>scholars. With a supplement, 1968, edited by E. A. Barber. Oxford, at

[List price, $135]
Oxford has announced a partially-new version of the 9th Edition with a
completely revised supplement (2378 total pp.) The revised supplement by
Glare will also be available separately (288 pp.) The new printing was
promised for June 1995; as of October 1995, it was re-scheduled for
publication in March 1996. The good news is that the price has been dropped
$10, to $125; even better news is that they have reinstated the
pre-publication offer-- order before January 31, 1996, and it will cost
only $100! (All prices plus $3.50 shipping.)
