Akkadian Prayers and Hymns Now Almost Available
An effort, led by Alan Lenzi, that consumed much of my time and that of others over the last many months is nowt available as an open access (that means free) SBL publication. Alan did a herculean job of bring this all together.
The full reference is:

My only question (for now) is, can a book of 520 pages rightly be called a monogram?
Drop over to Awilum.com and see what Charles Halton has to say. I certainly second, Charles' thanks to Alan. Alan gave me a chance to study and published my studies of texts that I might not have had opportunity to work on without his sometimes very direct and much needed help and support.
Update: July 2, 2011
I think the title of this book is actually Reading Akkadian Prayers and Hymns: An Introduction not Akkadian Prayers and Hymns: A Reader as on the cover and front pages. I think the front matter contains an error that should be repaired soon.
It now appears that the volume has been taken down from the SBL website. I suppose they are reworking the front matter.
