Proverbs: An Introduction and Commentary

Inter-Varsity Press (IVP), Chicago, IL. 1964. Hardcover. Stated First Edition. Part of Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; scant shelfwear. DJ: Very Good; NOT Price Clipped ($3.00); light wear to head, tail, and tips; small moisture stain to top of rear panel. Blue tweed boards with royal blue cloth overlay on the spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 192 pp 12mo. The author has included two "aids to navigation" by which the length and breadth of Proverbs may be more easily explored. The first is a set of subject-studies in which the teaching scattered throughout the book, on eight leading topics, is brought together; the second is a short concordance, which may perhaps serve the double purpose of locating lost sayings (in territory notoriously hard to search) and providing the beginnings of further subject-studies. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
