PDF vs. Paperback

(The following is an edited response to an inquiry on the topic.)

I'm really not a big fan of reading 200 pages through PDF online so I was thinking that I would purchase a few of your paperbacks from the Lulu store.

I noticed that your PDF files have a "last modified" time, and most of them are fairly recent. How up to date are your paperbacks? And additionally, what sorts of things are you updating (i.e. will I be missing important theological concepts)?

I am the same way; I don't like reading a lot on the computer screen. But some people do not seem to mind at all, and others print out them on their own printers.

The "last modified" date indicates every little change in the files. These are mostly minor corrections to typos, etc. The paperbacks at Lulu are not as current as the PDF files, but they are only several months behind. There should not be any substantial differences in terms of content. When you are unsure, you can always check the PDF version, although the page numbers would be different.

The Lulu ordering/shipping process is usually very good. But I suggest that, for the first time, you buy only a few books, perhaps even just one, so that you can make sure that you are satisfied with the product.

As noted on the Lulu page, to keep the prices at a minimum for our readers, this ministry receives ZERO royalty from the sale of these books.
