I'm curious to know how many PBers bought the 500th-anniversary-binding set of Calvin's commentaries?
Yes, I bought that set
Would have bought it, but didn't have the money
Already had the earlier Baker set
Already had the way earlier Eerdmans set
Who is Calvin?

I purchased it and got the free copy of the Institutes tossed in with the 500th emblem on it. It sits above my shelf of Bibles on the desk in my Reformation Room.

We cannot regard Calvin too highly, but since his commentaries are
available on PDF (I know, I know : ) if one has a budget that doesn't allow
to buy all good works out there, why not help contemporary writers
who are giving such great contributions to Reformed Theology?
Richard Muller's Unaccomodated Calvin, Christ and the Decree, and his
monumental PRRD to start with, what a scholar, what an effort!!!
These guys deserve all our contributions![]()

No: Already had the Baker set, a PDF version, and now (my new favorite) an version that is integrated into BibleWorks 8.0! In fact, I've also pulled Calvin's Institutes into BibleWorks. Very, very nice. For now, I only pull a Baker volume off the shelf when I'm looking to do more extensive reading.

Whisky may not cure the common cold, but it fails more agreeably than most other things.
Nice setup, Mr. Taylor!
As to Ruben's zen-like answer,
I reply, "Be the commentary!" andI didn't buy them, but I have them nonetheless.

No, silly! I have a "converted garage" painted and carpeted with my home library and a "few" "Reformation" touches:
* Large framed portrait of five Reformers with the line: Post Tenebras Lux.
* Large framed Calvin poster
* Dr. McMahon's 2009 Reformation and Puritan calendar
* Framed Thomas Godwin 5" x 7"
* Framed large poster of the Westminster Assembly
* Framed 5" x 7" John Knox
* Framed 5" x 7" John Owen
* Framed 8" x 10" John Bunyan
* Framed large poster of the Synod of Dort
* Framed "personalized" portrait of Luther with his signature and a written message to me
* Framed leaf out of the Geneva Bible
* Bright yellow "messenger bag" hanging on the door with a "Calvin Rocks" insignia on it
* Framed leaf out of the KJV (early printing in 1600s)
* Set of bobbleheads: Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, and Al Mohler
* Miniature Luther wind-up walking toy
* Calvin 500 medal in a paperweight
* Framed Calvin picture on desk
* 16 mugs of Reformers and/or theological sayings on bookshelves
* Reformers "jug band" cartoon mousepad
That is my "Reformation Room." When one of my grandsons asked why does Grandpa have all of these really old guys' pictures and statues in the room and if they were all relatives of ours, my eldest son replied: "Micah, those are just Grandpa's 'action figures.'"

Here is another distinction:
Already had the SEWN binding Baker set (1970s-1980s) instead of the junky glued binding set (90s-00s).

Thank you, Dennis. I value the books all the more now that they have the glow of stolen property.
