Would any of you who own the Nag Hammadi be willing to post some pictures, or a video showing this book?

I can't seem to find any info on this edition, so opinions are also welcome!

>1 Inceptic: this was published by the Folio Society in 2008 under the title The Gnostic Gospels (leather spine and beautiful cloth cover and slipcase). The editor is Marvin Meyers with an introduction by Meyers and Elaine Pagels. This is a fabulous book. Each Gnostic Gospel includes scholarly introduction and commentary with profuse footnotes thankfully on the page they are footnoted. The Folio Society edition has some beautiful color plates which I am not sure if EP ported over. I am approximately 3/4ths finished in reading this massive book. It is difficult at times but worth it. Here is the FS edition on eBay. I think you can do better on such places as Abe’s Books. I purchased two copies under $50 each.

>2 HugoDumas: Thank you for this. I did buy the Folio Society edition a few weeks ago.

Earlier, I had emailed Easton Press directly for pictures, and they replied essentially that they couldn't be bothered. *shrugs*

>4 Inceptic: I also emailed them a couple of months ago and asked about pictures, but I received no reply. :(

>5 uncledaveh: Here's an unboxing video of this book if you are still interested. I'm very happy with my FS edition though.
