Catalogs

<idle musing>
Today I received a catalog from one of Eisenbrauns competitors; I'm sure you would recognize them. Anyway, I looked in vain for something in the catalog that could pass for a Biblical Studies title. Finally, on page 28 of the catalog Biblical Studies began and continued for a phenomenal 4 pages! Then the movies started.

Obviously, Eisenbrauns is in the wrong business. Our most recent catalog, Scholar's Source 27.1, was 40 pages of titles, all ancient Near East or Biblical Studies. Not a single movie or popular paperback; not a single novel, historical or romantic. How in the world can we expect to sell anything? We must be crazy, expecting people to actually think when they read our books :)
