First, shameless commerce. Amazon says that FCC says I have to tell you this is an Amazon affiliate link, and that—if you click and buy—a wee bit of pocket change goes toward SI expenses.
Andy Naselli is among the editors, along with G.K. Beale, D.A. Carson and Benjamin L. Gladd, who I’m not familiar with.
A free sample PDF is available at the Westminster bookstore. About 100 pages worth.

Interesting comment in the Introduction:
This dictionary is written with its companion volume in mind, the Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament (CNTUOT). That book carefully investigates how each NT book quotes and alludes to the OT, highlighting the various hermeneutical permutations of the OT. This present volume continues that examination but on a synchronic level. More book-by-book reflection is needed. Where the CNTUOT examines each quotation and major allusion diachronically, a significant portion of this dictionary does so synchronically. The CNTUOT considers only how the NT uses the OT; it does not address how the OT uses the OT. This project attempts to redress this omission by furnishing separate essays on the use of the OT in each OT book.
I use the CNTUOT regularly when I preach through NT books. I even use it as I'm preaching through Genesis now to see where the NT uses the Genesis passage under consideration. I'll be sure to pick up this volume in Logos.

Great tip on the Logos affiliate idea. They do indeed have a program. Looking into it.

I pre-ordered it on Logos yesterday. You could have been rolling in the cash.
I wonder if I can put an emoji in the subject field. … yup.
Well, SI is in the program now, but it’ll be a bit to figure out how to use that.
