First look, George Gillespie, Aaron's Rod Blossoming

[NaphtaliPress]

The eleventh title undertaken for the Naphtali Press Special Editions series, is a new edition of George Gillespie's Aaron's Rod Blossoming. This will prove to be the largest volume undertaken in this series copublished with Reformation Heritage Books. RHB does not have the title up on their site yet, but if you are interested or a fan already, get a copy sooner rather than later. RHB chose to do a limited print run given the size of the book, at just 500 copies plus or minus 10%. First looks below; not the best pictures, with apologies.

That's a lot fatter than the Sprinkle edition!

Sprinkle reprinted the Presbyterian's Armoury text (1844), which was double column, though he did enlarge it from the original smaller print. In this new edition the Latin has all been translated and the bibliographical references provided, which were extensive, and indices. Also nice size print. All that expands the girth. Sample pages attached.

Do you have an idea of when it will be ready for ordering from RHB? I have the Sprinkle version, but this looks phenomenal. Even though I have blown my book budget for the year, given the limited run on this, I would like to make sure I secure a copy!

Rom, I'm sorry but I don't. Hopefully by next week if not before week's end? I'll try to check each day and post a link here when it posts.

I just attempted a wholesale order and our rep claimed no knowledge of it. . . Looking forward to adding this to Grange's catalog. We just received the rest of the in-print Naphtali titles this week. You're doing excellent work, Chris.

Update. You can order a copy of Gillespie's ARB here. The print run was 500 +/- 5or10% (I don't know which) and of that, 400 or less are left after NPSE sponsors got their copies and those in the know found a way to order. So plan expeditiously if you want a critical edition of one of the most famous Presbyterian's magnum opus.

Mine's awaiting shipment. Very much looking forward to it. Thank you for putting these out!

Rom....it's 2025 new year......new book budget??

Gillespie's ARB is getting out to other resellers as well. Grange Press is stocking all NP/RHB copublished titles. And checkout Canon and Creed Reformed Books whose aim is to sell at reasonable prices.
