Fun new books

This time of year is exciting if you like new books—at least in my areas of interest :) The annual SBL convention is rapidly approaching and every publisher is rushing to get their books into press in time. Eisenbrauns is no exception. This year we have a few books that are very dear to my philological heart; I highlighted them in today's BookNews, below, but I am especially enamored with the first two—the Ugaritic and the Syriac :)

BookNews from Eisenbrauns

This is a busy time of year for us here at Eisenbrauns. SBL is
looming large, and we are feverishly trying to get everything done.
This is also the time when people start e-mailing or calling and
asking what new titles will be at SBL. For the last two years, I
have dedicated a BookNews edition to answering just that question.

Below are the titles that are now in press and will be available
for your to purchase at SBL. I have also included the titles that
won't make it, but will be in proof format; be sure to look them
over and place your order for them.

titles listed below, please follow this link:
