Just a note for those planning a "big buy." The pre-publication price, $20.00 savings on regular and bonded leather editions and $25.00 savings on genuine leather editions, ends 31 October. Those savings are reduced by $5.00 thereafter. (I can't tell for certain, but it doesn't look like CPH will begin to charge list price until at least after Christmas.)
Through 24 December CPH is also offering free shipping on orders over $75.00, so it doesn't take more that two or three TLSB's to take advantage of that offer.
Since there's no economic benefit to accumulating a big order, it might be worth inviting orders right away and then having a second deadline with the smaller discount later on. (From my parish experience, we had far more orders for the thumb indexed than the regular edition, and had about the same number of orders for the larger print as for the thumb-indexed edition.)
One more thing. The larger print edition has been selling much more quickly than anticipated. The standard binding of the larger print edition sold out last week. More are being printed and are expected 11 December.
