Jim, Merna, and I leave on Tuesday for New Orleans - they for ASOR, I for ETS. The next day or two sees Dave, Marti, and Gina leave to arrive in time to set up SBL. The remainder of the staff celebrates our absence with pizza - and lots of work covering for us. A couple of notes before we dive into this week's New and Noteworthy titles: 1. The early ASOR sale ends Monday; no late sales at these prices, so hurry: http://www.eisenbrauns.com/pages/VBOOTH20 2. Going to SBL? Make Eisenbrauns one of your stops in the exhibit hall. We're in booth 704 this year, a bit off to the side of the main area. I think you'll like our back drop this year: Andy (our graphic artist) made a photo mosaic of over 160,000 book covers. You'll have to see it to appreciate it. The image was so large, he had to break it down into six separate files in order to save it. 3. The ANE Resource catalog is now posted on the home page of our web site or can be downloaded directly here: https://www.eisenbrauns.com/assets/catalogs/Eisenbrauns_ANE_2009.pdf 4.
