Well, I guess it's safe to say that the final volume (#4) of Bavinck's Reformed Dogmatics won't be out this year. What's the hold up?
Grrrr.

| | | What is the verdict on his dogmatics? Does everyone agree with Gaffin that Bavinck's dogmatics is the most important systematic theology ever produced in the Reformed tradition? |

| | Notice comment # 16 from Baker: Quote:
Friends:
Perhaps I can clarify the situation. Comment number five above, coming indirectly from Jay at RHB, explains our terminology. In the industry “cloth” is indeed used as shorthand for any type of hardback. Books are either cloth or paper. Subtleties such as the actual cover material used on a hardback (paper, kivar, cloth) are not included in our basic descriptions. Nor do we indicate whether the binding is sewn or glued. I suspect the main reason is that our descriptive materials are aimed at meeting the needs of retailers, not bibliophiles.
All four Bavinck volumes were printed with paper(Permalink)covers over boards from the outset. It’s rare for us to use actual cloth over the boards.
I would like to call your attention, however, to the fact that all four of the Bavinck were produced with sewn bindings. We think a sewn binding has a greater impact on a book’s durability than cover material does. Hence, for the Bavinck volumes we chose to invest in a more expensive binding rather than in more expensive cover material.
Baker Publishing Group has been producing high-quality books for seventy years. Economic realities and technological advancements have introduced changes along the way to be sure, but the Baker family and staff members in all departments (editorial, design, production, art, sales, marketing) still retain many of our founder’s old-fashioned values. We’re book lovers and readers and we want our books to be cherished and read. We use high-quality materials and processes with a goal of providing the best possible value and experience to our readers. Of course, there are trade-offs involved. We address them while holding in tension our twin values of quality and value.
Thank you for your interest in our work. May I now be so bold as to gently urge you to stop ripping your Bavincks?
Jim Kinney
Editorial director, Baker Academic
| My experience has been that sewn bindings speak more to the durability of a book over time as well. My problems with old books haven't been ripped covers but pages that fall out of glued bindings. I'm not a publisher but I'd like to get some other opinions on that point.  |
