Biblioblogs.com is hosting a book signing on Monday
November 23rd, 8-9 pm at the Deutsches Haus in New Orleans, a mile away from
the SBL meeting. Michael V. Fox, author of the AYB Proverbs commentary, has
agreed to be on hand to sign copies of volume 2 published this summer. Raymond
van Leeuwen of Eastern University has agreed to introduce Fox and the second
volume, in a light-hearted and engaging fashion. Fox will respond and take
questions.
If you are planning to attend, and/or would like a prereserved copy of AYB Proverbs Volume 2 on hand, comment to that effect below or drop me an email. Some of you already have. This will help with logistics. Objectively speaking, AYB Proverbs by Michael Fox is likely to be the standard scientific commentary on Mishle for some time to come. You might as well get a copy now at a steeply discounted rate ($40.50), courtesy of Eisenbrauns.
It is still possible to add a few spots at
the slow food dinner table beforehand, from 7-8 pm. Details here.
Let me know if that mouth-watering occasion interests you.
Is "prereserving" anything like "pickling"?

As in shrink-wrapped? "Pre-reserved," I notice by googling, is the conventional orthography.
