I am reading the 'Life and Letters of Robert Lewis Dabney' at this time. I was just wondering what some of you guys where reading. So, what are you guys reading right now?

BTW, if you have a copy if the Dabney book it is OOP. Not many on the market and they are going for around $100.00 and up. It is a great read so far. It is a good mesh of bio and letters.

RTS had that in the book store for thirty dollars last year. I failed to pick it up then. Sigh. Why doesn't Banner of Truth sell the copyright to Sprinkle Publications? Honestly, I bet this book would really sell among many Presbyterians and reformed Baptists. This goes for the Thornwell biography as well.

:banghead:


As to what I am reading:

Let me get back to you on that.

No need to worry about copyright; some one just needs to pick up an original (I'm sure Sprinkle already has one of those) like the clean but perfect copy to sacrifice here and reprint it.

That sounds too easy. Why hasn't anybody done that? I have listened to Reverend Sprinkle on this matter (binding old books) and wondering why no one has done it.

Of course there are some capital risks given the Banner reprint. The BOT is a rather nice reprint and so if some one does one that is not as good it will take some criticism in comparison and also be open to risk if Banner reprints theirs, which could hurt sales. Clearing up Banner's long term plans for the title would be necessary to judge taking on such a venture. My guess would be you would be looking at a 5 to 10 thousand dollar cash layout to do a new printing. Also, the title may not be a fast seller, even if it sells consistently so you may be looking at quite some time to get your money back out, not to speak of the possibility of any actual profit.

What about scanning it in to a searchable .pdf file and distributing it freely from the Banner Edition. Is that allowable?

I would imagine that there is also a calculus that comes in every time as to whether the bio would better serve the Church, or another book.
