Some time ago (July of this year) I posted a link to a book and said it is the best $4.03 you’ll ever spend. I don’t know that I ever told you what happened after that. Basically, and as I understand it, it went something like this: Within a couple of hours, the book had sold out at Westminster Books. A short time after that, the publisher sent all the available copies in the warehouse, but those too sold out. Then the publisher sent all the available copies from their warehouse in the U.K. and those also sold out. And then the publisher had no choice but to order a reprint since the book was basically completely sold out. Well, six months later, the book has been reprinted and is back in stock. Some of those who ordered it have since confirmed that it was a very worthwhile book. So for those who were not able to get one of the books while they remained, here’s a copy of the original post and the original link. Enjoy!
I was poking around a little bit today and found what I consider to be just a great deal. I’m posting for no other reason than to tell you that this represents what I’m sure you’ll agree is the best $4.03 you’ll ever spend. It’s one of my all-time favorites and a book worth reading at least once per year.
If you disagree and are absolutely convinced that another item worth $4.03 would have been a better buy, well, tell me what it is because I don’t believe it’s possible.
That is all.

Not to worry! If these ones sell out too, I found one available on Half.com for only $97.39!

I don’t have a lot of money for books. I read your reviews, with interest, but it takes something special for me to purchase a book.
I bought this one after your original post and I was extremely glad I did. Here is a link to the review I did.
I think the greatest thing that could happen now is that the reprints sell out faster than than the last inventory.
It was one of the best books I read in 2007.
Thanks for making me aware of it.

Well, I can assure you, Tim, that your unnamed publisher - namely The Banner of Truth - is more than ready, so … Bring it on!

Wow, Tim, you’re like a reformed Oprah when it comes to selling books.

I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or an insult. Want to come on my talk show to discuss it? ;-)

I’ve only recently started reading your blog and I have bought many books based on your reviews, including pre-ordering your own. :-) I bought 13 copies total yesterday to give as gifts (and one for myself of course). At $4 each how could I not?! Thanks for all the wonderful book suggestions Tim!!

Tim:
Does WTS ship books to Canada? Last I heard from them they only shipped to the 48 contiguous states…
