I bought EJ2 when it first came out. It was a stretch for my very small donations only budget. Was it worth it? Probably not. Patrons haven't used the set extensively. Frequently we refer to EJ1 also especially for illustrative material. If you have a very active library, the purchase may make sense especially if you have online access also but for a small , not too busy library, save your money (until the deal is a real bargain), use the internet and the earlier edition.

Clearly a bargain over the list price. My question is to those of you who purchased this, especially synagogue libraries. Do you feel that it's been a worthwhile purchase? Would you recommend buying it?
