Yes, but with the added appendix of bibliography. The Banner set is out of print and woefully hard to find. For $100, it's a deal that is hard to pass up. He is taking orders and won't charge your card until they are ready to ship.
 
It makes me almost wish I had American dollars :eek: - I guess I could probably exchange them but then again it would cost me over $200 to do that.

Just received my set. Wow! Now if I only could find a couple of seasons to read them.

Does anyone know where I could find the Life and Letters of Thornwell by Palmer published by Banner of Truth?

I found 2 copies on Amazon used for $47.00 each. Too steep.
