A thread in General Theology about my open book orders. Help me decide to cancel some

[Unix]

The thread is: http://www.christianforums.com/t7845429/
Unfortunately circumstances such as that the local currency is weak and the US$ strong and that these books are for me personally and my family is not wanting to give me any money for books, add to the reasons for me to cancel some orders, I'm just not that sure which ones to cancel. There's time to think though, so I appreciate late answers too!

I would cancel the Gnostic Christian Writings one. Try to get the Basic Catechism one and the Catholic Answers Collection Upgrade though.

I already cancelled those. To re-order is not a good thing in my case:

Try to get the Basic Catechism one and the Catholic Answers Collection Upgrade though.

As an example, here are my most recent pre-pub orders (from the past two months):
Monastic Prisons and Torture Chambers: Crime and Punishment in Central European Monasteries, 1600-1800 $9.95
New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology and Exegesis (5 vols.) $159.95
Ancient Voices: Learning from Pompeii $7.95
Josephus (2nd ed) $14.95
Wipf & Stock Studies on Biblical Interpretation (4 vols.) $79.95
Baker Academic Early Church Upgrade II $119.95 early-bird
Filología Neotestamentaria (31 vols.) $99.95
Journal of Northwest Semitic Languages Upgrade (29 issues) $154.95
Wilbur N. Pickering New Testament $21.95
Bristol Classics Classical Literature $94.95 early-bird
Bristol Classics Medieval Studies Collection (4 vols.) $99.95 early-bird
Catholic Audiobook Collection (5 vols.) $52.95
Bristol Classics Aristotle Collection (5 vols.) $59.95 early-bird
Bristol Classics Philosophy Collection (8 vols.) $105.95 early-bird
Oxford Studies in Origen of Alexandria (2 vols.) $159.95

I'm inclined to keep the orders for the first ones in the list: Monastic Prisons, NIDNTTE, Ancient Voices Pompeii, Josephus, and the last one Oxford Origen (I hope the latter incorporates the most recent manuscript find of previously lost texts).

What do You think of the Biblical Interpretation (4 vols.) $79.95?

Too many Bristol Classics orders. An idea would be that I drop the Philosophy (8 vols.) collection if I don't expect to have enough interest in Ancient Philosophy. (But the Aristotle volumes would complement the old translations I have in Noet from community pricing, that cost $40.) The idea would be to do only very limited philosophy studies and if there's something I happen to need later on in Catholic uni to to pick up an individual volume if the sets are ever split up or else as printed matter.
I just read in Rodney Stark (2011). Triumph of Christianity (the author was not a Christian when he wrote the book but became later) about Medieval history, such as technical innovations, and the seniour lecturer pointed out some important things less than a month ago. They are quite positive and I feel so good about that:

Bristol Classics Classical Literature $94.95 early-bird
Bristol Classics Medieval Studies Collection (4 vols.) $99.95 early-bird
Bristol Classics Aristotle Collection (5 vols.) $59.95 early-bird
Bristol Classics Philosophy Collection (8 vols.) $105.95 early-bird

I think I'm cancelling the Bristol Classics Classical Literature $94.95 and ordering CUA Studies in Ancient Philosophy (4 vols.) $99.95 instead, not that their equivalent:

Bristol Classics Classical Literature $94.95 early-bird

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I had pre-ordered Mercy: Essence of the Gospel and the Key to Christian Life $17.95 on Sept. 6. I'm cancelling it now, it's too pastoral.
