    Since it is not yet available, of course, I also am unfamiliar with the book;
however, it is apparently a revision of Holme's 1992 volume. The publisher claims
that it is an improvement on Lightfoot's study, making use of the approx 120 years
of textual research since that 5-volume set was printed.
    Certainly, an up to date treatment of the research is desirable, and it may very
well be a worthy complement to the earlier works. On the other hand, I have to
wonder whether any single volume (620 pages) could really hope to replace
Lightfoot's 3,000-page treatment.
