The following listing just showed up on Amazon.com. Does anyone know 
anything about this "reprint"? I am extremely skeptical, not only due to 
the "tone" of the publishers blurb, but also that it lists it as only "430 
pages"--the original is 2 vols. of 968 and 1044 pgs. each! A web search 
turns up nothing for "Pierson Publishing Group," and no name or contact 
info is given.

 >Book Description
 >After more than 100 years of silence,
 >this Koine Greek Text of the New Testament[formally known as the Editio
 >Octava Critica Major in scholarly literature]is the 8th Critical Edition
 >(1871) of Tischendorf, the high point of his career, and the text cited by
 >all Biblical scholars - (pro and con) - after him. Tischendorf was the first
 >to use the ancient texts of the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus and
 >incorporate his information into a Greek New Testament. No Pastor or priest
 >has ever passed a Greek course without substantive references to this
 >edition. Finally, this edition coveted by scholars and unavailable to the
 >public is now available at a price affordable for Seminary Students, Bishops
 >and Pastors alike. Find out what changes were made between the 8th Edition
 >and the UBS or Nestle-Aland text. Find the proof for yourself and put your
 >Greek knowledge and professors to the test. Something no Professor or
 >Student of Biblical/Koine Greek should be without.
