Oh dear. My dear wife expressed her support for my rebuilding my library so I already have several book in queue to order, including C Arnold Snyder's "Sources of South German/Austrian Anabaptism". I guess one more won't hurt.

BTW, I'm going to be passing through Lancaster County in a couple weeks, can you suggest some good used book stores? I used to frequent Clay Bookstore, and may stop there on my way through, but you may know of others.

Any idea if images of the original documents or transcriptions in the original languages are available anywhere? If they aren't available on the Web, any chance there would be interest in getting them on the Web?

Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?

Am curious your thoughts on this volume, Edsel. I have the rest and was contemplating get this one as well (if only to silence my OCD when I look at my shelf knowing one is missing).

It is a very important collection. I am about half-way through it. It hasn't disappointed yet. I would suggest that you get it from Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society.
