It looks as though there are a few other newly-added marked-down Eerdmans titles, in addition to the one that I posted just above this post. I wish that I could figure out Eerdmans' system for adding titles to their markdowns as well as that of marking them back up (or maybe deleting them from their catalog altogether).

The price points of $1.99, $2.99, and $3.99 seem to be common on the low end, before the higher-priced ebooks appear. At that point, it seems that the prices have no particular price points.

The books probably are all "backlist" titles. These currently marked-down Eerdmans books tend to have older publishing dates (I'm talking about like publication dates of 10 to 25 years ago) as opposed to most "Christian Interest" books that we run across. But that's not nessarily a real negative for books on this subject.

If you're interested, I recommend that you go to the Kindle store, and do a search filtered according to your desires. Several months ago, someone suggested doing a search with quotation marks around the search term (so, "Eerdmans" vs Eerdmans). That was a very invaluable hint, because it increases the number of (valid) hits. I don't know why that little trick works, I just know that it does.

Happy bargain hunting.
