Kent, good to know! Thanks for your reply.

I was reading CD I/1 (or vol 2 of the new edition) this morning and was bummed to find a few errors. On p. 147 [438], mid-way down the smaller text there is supposed to be a comma after “Neo-Nicenes.” Also, they don’t translate the Latin at the end of that paragraph. These are minor mistakes, but it does make me wonder if they missed other things too.

J. Barrett, T&T Clark says that individual volumes will be available in Autumn 2010.

Cheers.

I received mine too. I love the digitized typeset and overall construction of the books.

I agree about the slipcases. Mine were torn in multiple places, and, yes, the burgundy bled a little onto the top of the books. And the burgundy clashed with the pastels of the book covers (I know, a minor point). I just threw them away. They did, at least, protect the books from the crappy UPS mailmen.

That’s unfortunate that the ink bled through onto the books! Mine also arrived earlier this week and the cardboard cases were broken too.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe T&T Clark said that they don’t plan to sell the volumes individually. Thus, I’m not sure how you could use them in a classroom. If this is the case, it seems to defeat the idea of a “study guide” edition except for those who can afford/want the whole set.
