The BHS: Reader’s Edition, which Donald Vance, Yael Avrahami, and I produced (co-published by Hendrickson and the German Bible Society), is being launched officially at the Society of Biblical Literature conference in San Diego next week.
There is now a free sample from the Obadiah section of the Reader available for download. Click HERE to get it.
If you’re at the SBL conference, you can pick up a copy of the Reader for 50% off the normal price. That means you can get a copy at the conference for about US$30 (hardcover) or US$40 (imitation leather).
The Reader is also available for order from Amazon.com and Christianbook.com.

The link for the Obadiah sample didn’t work for me, George.
Sorry. Now working.
Tried again, just takes me to Hendrickson product page. Anyway, my first question is whether the textual apparatus is retained, or has to give way to the lexical info. If it somehow has both, then it would be superior to the Brown & Smith Reader’s Hebrew Bible.
Hope SBL has treated you well.
Oh, by the way, the parsing of weak forms is another clear advantage for early readers.
It’s working properly for me, if you click on the link at ‘HERE’.
In any case, here’s the long URL:

We couldn’t retain the text critical apparatus, because it would have made the volume almost twice as big. At almost 1800 pages and 7cm thickness even without the text critical apparatus, you can see why we excluded it.
