Do you love beautiful books? This collector’s edition has a gorgeous custom marbled cover and genuine leather binding and corners. This edition contains all the content in the standard volume. For that reason, all I would say in reviewing that standard volume would apply here as well:

I love these lost sermons of Spurgeon more as every new volume is released. Here we are blessed to receive volume 3 of what will be an incredible 10-volume set for both Spurgeon fans and any who love gospel preaching. The design and setup match the previous two volumes, but I notice the sermon notes are becoming fuller as Spurgeon must’ve started keeping more careful notes.

With this volume, I became even more impressed with the editor, Christian T. George. It’s almost as if he went through these notebooks with a magnifying glass and nothing escaped his eye. He made sure we had everything he observed. Be sure to glance through the notes that follow each sermon. I even noticed that he traced down some of the sermon illustrations to volumes in Spurgeon’s library! I guess our beloved Metropolitan Tabernacle sermons will seem somewhat inferior after this set is finished. I, for one, appreciate the attention to detail that Mr. George brings to this project. B & H gave this production worthy packaging to make something truly beautiful.

Another observation: Spurgeon started hitting his stride in producing sermons that we would expect from him in this volume. As was his custom throughout his ministry, he is all over the Bible. It would be hard to argue that anyone was Spurgeon’s equal when it comes to textual preaching. The man could wring the Gospel out of almost any text! This book needs no recommendation from me – obviously its pure gold!

Besides the stunning beauty of this collector’s edition, it also gives you many photos not found in the standard edition. Either edition is an awesome addition to your library. If you are either a Spurgeon lover or a book lover, I’d recommend springing for the few extra dollars and getting this collector’s edition. I know of nothing more beautiful being produced in the book market today.
