BookNews from Eisenbrauns

The Eisenbrauns website was down for the last 2 days, but we are 
back up again. For those of you with a technical bent: we had 
router problems which required onsite attention from the phone 
company. We do apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate 
your patience.

Our current weekly sale: 7-75% off on selected Hebrew and Ugaritic 
tools is almost over, only 1 day left. Don't miss this chance to 
save on basic references on these languages. Watch for our next 
installment of back-to-school savings on Thursday.

The current monthly sale, 50% off on selected Brill titles, 
continues to offer unprecedented savings. Don't miss this 
chance to pick up prime Brill titles at a huge savings.

titles listed below, please follow this link:
