I'd buy 'em if I hadn't bought them for the same price from them 3 years ago. It's a good deal.

I got a few years ago as well, plus free shipping.
Like Vic, said, it's a good deal, and if you don't have 'em, INVEST!

By the way, I love how the website says: Quote:
CBD Price: $99.99
You Save $900.01 (90%)
| Ha, you save $900. A deal like that would have people lining up outside Target or Walmart for days, no matter what you're selling. Maybe we should publish this deal widely: people won't care what they're buying, they just want the deal. Thus comes all of America to read Calvin. It can't fail.

I dropped VERY broad hints to my wife that it would be wonderful to receive . . . Concise Reformed Theology
Publisher: P and R Publishing Company
Author: Van Genderen, J.; Velema, W. H.
ISBN-13: 9780875525778
Binding: Hardcover
List Price: $59.99
And, ever since Nate Eshelman got me hooked on bow ties in May, that is all I wear (5x or 6x per week). So, my kids will probably skip the theology and opt for the bow ties this year.
