There was a glitch in publishing the print versions - I will be sending the full color version to supporters. The glitch was resolved yesterday. |
Norma Boeckler illustrated the interior and designed the cover. |
Volume 1 is now on Amazon. There are three versions:
Full color interior - The Sermons of Martin Luther, Volume 1 - $61.63 retail.
Black and white interior - Luther's Sermons, Student Economy Edition - $12.33 retail.
The Kindle e-book - The Sermons of Martin Luther, Lenker Edition - $7.99.

Now for the good news on printed books, since we are doing this to promote Luther's sermons, not to make money. I put a $1 profit on each printed book to help keep track of sales.
Full color version - $24.65.
Black and white - $4.93.
The Kindle e-book version is the same price, and I will buy the Kindle versions myself, which are full color, naturally. They are best for research, searching, and quoting, since the citations are included with the copy and paste.
When we are done, someone can have all the sermons (8 volumes) for only $40 total! - plus shipping.
The Gospel sermons will be done first (volumes 1-4) and only cost $20 total! - plus shipping. Anyone who knows the Gospel sermons alone has quite a Biblical and theological education.
Probably most students will want the Kindle version, because it is portable and available on on devices. I ended up doing full color and the black and white because we wanted Norma Boeckler's art in full color, but also desired a price advantage over other public domain versions.
My geezer eyes prefer larger print, so I worked with our finishing editor Janie Sullivan on that.
