Yes, Barnes & Noble (via the Internet) is where I got my BDAG for $85 -
cheapest I could find (I don't have the Reader's 10% discount card,
though). With free shipping (by buying a second book/item, any price),
that was $85 and zero cents.
A little math shows, though, that you may not want to wait for SBL. The
current U of C list price on their Web page for BDAG is $125.00. To get it
for $85.00 means you'd need a 32% (not a 20%) discount. Maybe they'll give
a whopping 35% or 40% off (i.e., $81.25 or $75.00). Maybe it's worth it to
you to wait 2 months to save (or, rather, maybe save) $5 to $10, and maybe
get something else in the bargain, depending on what else they do at SBL.
Just playing with my calculator here ...
