OK. An e-mail and a phone call later just to make sure I was correct.
This is going to be confusing, so hang on to your hats...
Up until about 2 years ago all German Bible Society (Deutsche
Bibelgesellschaft- DBG) titles were distributed in the United States by
the American Bible Society (ABS). For various reasons, they are now
being distributed by both Hendrickson and ABS. No problem in and of
itself, but for some reason I haven't been able to discover yet,
Hendrickson made the decision to attach new ISBNs to the ones they are
distributing. With the new ISBN comes a new publication date and a new
listing on some bookselling websites that don't know the ins and outs of
the distribution deal. According to the person I talked to at
Hendrickson (my normal rep is on the road), there is no difference
between the two versions except the ISBN and the publication date.
Now, here is the thing to bear in mind: All DBG titles distributed by
Hendrickson will now have a different ISBN from the ones bought directly
from DBG or through ABS, BUT THEY ARE UNCHANGED from the current
editions. That includes NA 27, UBS 4, etc.
To sum up: the two versions of Lust, et al., are the same.
HTH,
James
Who is wondering how he is going to keep his inventory straight now...

Bobby,
Care to enlighten me? What is the difference between the two?
Thanks,

Dear B-Greek,
I just got an ABS catalog in the mail the other day and it mentioned
a Greek-English Lexicon of the Septuagint by Just et. al., published by
UBS. Looking on Amazon today, I noticed another lexicon, which looked
almost identical, to be published by Hendrickson (just called Lexicon of
the Septuagint) at the end of April (links below) and is a little
cheaper. Given the pictures and descriptions, they look to be
identical. Does anyone know of a difference between the two books?
Sincerely,
Michael Matsko
