The Bad News is that it will cost about $40.00 USD. Despite my best efforts, I cannot find a way to reduce the cost. However, if I can enlist the help of a techie, this volume will have an ebook release too. It will cost less. I regret this, but I cannot change it.

Volume 2 is going to have well over 200 more pages than volume 1 had, so I am not surprised. Within reason, those interested will pay the price I am sure. Jan Stilson's Encyclopedia of the Church of God Abrahamic Faith came in at $39 a little while back and is around 600 pages. So that is the going rate for an illustrated book of this size. But an ebook release would be good too.
This is not a bad news!! All your hard work for researching is priceless. I‘m happy to get this in march. Thanks so much, Bruce!!
It will be well worth the price, I am confident!
Bruce:
Considering the incredible amount of work that has gone into this book, $40.00 is in incredible bargain.

Sounds good to me! I do not like paying over the odds for scholarly works, but then do not consider $40 unreasonable.
That's good news! $40 is worth it, I love these books!
Considering the quality of Vol.I, $40 sounds cheap to me. This is what I need to spend for visiting a cinema three times or going out for a pizza two times.
Bruce,
Creating a password protected ebook in various formats should be an easy task to accomplish. I would be able to assist with that.
