Excellent Resource on the Proverbs!

This is an edited book by Zuck of mostly journal articles from a wide variety of authors. If you have access to a good theological library, you can probably track down most of these articles. But if you don't have the time or access to do that, this book does a great job of combining a number of resources in one volume. At 32 articles total, 10 deal with 'Overview and Themes' (Part 1) and 22 deal with 'Exposition of Specific Passages (Part 2). Like any edited work with a large number of contributors (27), one should not expect to agree with all the articles. But there is enough here of value that I think anyone studying the Proverbs would greatly benefit from. Along with Raymond van Leeuwen's 'Context and Meaning', these might be two of the better resources out there on Proverbs.
