Some months ago I commented here that I was unhappy that I couldn’t find a copy of the 1 Kings commentary in the Anchor Bible series for less than $2,736.18. That may improve, as the Anchor Bible series has been bought by Yale and the press release seems to indicate that out-of-print titles will be re-released. So if you’ve got one of those $2,700 commentaries…you should have sold it yesterday. The series will be re-branded the Anchor Yale Bible, so maybe indeed the original ones without such a cumbersome name will become collectors’ items.
