Concordia Reader's Edition of the Lutheran Confessions (unofficial) Latest Information

I've had a few visitors looking for information on the Reader's Edition of the Lutheran Confessions, so I thought I would post what I know and give an opportunity for those who know more to comment.

While CPH indicates that the Reader's Edition is still available at the special price of $20 (as opposed to the regular price of $29.99), the "add to cart" button on their site has disappeared. A product update notice (posted as of when, I do not know) reads:

"The nature of the changes we are presently making to Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions require more time than originally anticipated. We will deliver this revised edition as soon as we are able, and we thank you for your continuing interest and support. Further information will be provided as it becomes available. We are sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience."

Amazon (on what basis, I do not know) projects a November 30th release, but they have the CRE listed at its regular $29.99 price.

Pastor, you might want to join Paul McCain's "Cyberbrethren" mailing list. Ironically, your post went up yesterday around the same time he sent this note out to his mailing list.

Thanks, Roger. As I said, I was hoping that someone who knew more than I did would respond, and you did! :) BTW, the price on the CPH site went to $29.99, but there is still no option to purchase the item from their web site.

According to the Cyberbrethren post, work on the 2nd edition is completed and CPH hopes to be able to fill the thousands of standing orders sometime around the beginning of 2007.
