[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 227219, member: 56"]I think that bit on the printing would be considered a colophon. The following text is more promtional. I had to look up "nihil obstat" - [LIST=1] [*](in the Roman Catholic Church) a certification by an official censor that a book is not objectionable on doctrinal or moral grounds. [/LIST] So this is a church publication, which likely means a limited print run. How good the book is, or whether it's worth the prices asked, I don't know.[/QUOTE]
