Stephen Carlson has asked about the Oxford offer of the LSJM lexicon at a
bargain price, with a new Supplement by Glare as added attraction. I've sent
this out before, but here it is again for those who missed.

                           ---Classical Greek---

     The (financially) bad news is that really there is no choice for
Classical Greek except the *only* current one: "New (9th) Edition" of
Liddell-Scott-Jones-McKenzie.

          _A Greek-English Lexicon_ compiled by Henry George Liddell
     and Robert Scott. Revised and augmented throughout by Sir Henry
     Stuart Jones, with the assistance of Roderick McKenzie and with
     the co-operation of many scholars. With a supplement, 1968,
     edited by E. A. Barber. Oxford, at the Clarendon Press, 1968.
          [List price, $135]

     Oxford has announced a partially-new version of the 9th Edition with a
completely revised supplement (2378 total pp.) The revised supplement by
Glare will also be available separately (288 pp.) The new printing was
promised for June 1995; as of October 1995, it was re-scheduled for
publication in March 1996. The good news is that the price has been
dropped $10, to $125; even better news is that they have reinstated the
pre-publication offer-- order before January 31, 1996, and it will cost
only $100! (All prices plus $3.50 shipping.)

                You need to tell them that you saw the offer in their Classical
Studies catalog, which you don't happen to have with you at the moment (this is
really a limited offer to faculty who get that catalog, but they won't
challenge you if you sound reasonably official (or officious maybe).
                        THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE DEAL!

  The new version is:

          _A Greek-English Lexicon: Ninth Edition with Revised
     Supplement_ compiled by Henry George Liddell and Robert Scott.
     Revised and augmented throughout by Sir Henry Stuart Jones, with
     the assistance of Roderick McKenzie and with the co-operation of
     many scholars. Supplement edited by P. G. W. Glare. Oxford, at
     the Clarendon Press, 1996.
          [List price, $125] [Supplement separately, $65]
