The exchange between Gerlab and Helomatt was in Ugaritic and Hebrew (my Ugaritic really hasn't slipped that badly, just being careless). I apologize for the mistake. For the next 10 days, I am taking a risk: these books are all Eisenbrauns titles that I have read from cover-to-cover in the last 12 months, give or take a month or two. It doesn't include any that I have read a chapter or two in, that list would include most of our recent books. Got a better list? Why not submit your own to me for a future sale consideration? It has to be Eisenbrauns titles, and you have to have read them from cover-to-cover, although it doesn't have to have been in the last 12 months.
