I just noticed yesterday that my Open Pre-Pub list can all be seen on one page without the use of the scroll bar. I can't remember the last time it was like that but I think a major reason for this is that there are a lot less Pre-Pubs coming through Community Pricing these days.
How long is your list? Is it any different than it used to be?
Using adventure and community to challenge young people to continually say "yes" to God
After the massive pre pub release marathon of the past 4 weeks, which had a none the less massive impact on my wallet, there's only 4 items left on mine...

Orthodox Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."
Mine is still very long, but shorter than it's been in many years.
1 shipping, 7 under contract, 17 gathering interest (some of those have been there for years). Yes, I do think it's less than it used to be, but I'm glad for my pocketbook's sake that they're slowing down.
Mine has dwindled substantially since just last year.

Lucky 13 items are on my list. Very selective on prepubs now. No use rushing into buying them all.

I have nothing now. Logos seem very slow in bringing out new volumes in major commentary series that other software companies have had for some time.

Well stated.
I had zero at one point. But it's back to 4 now:

I am sticking with the cheaper stuff now.
EDIT: One reason my pre-pub list is shorter (other than my desire to buy less) is that the community pricing offerings that I've bid on have all stalled out, which has been a significant feeder of my pre-pub list in the past. Looking at the 25 community pricing bids I have out has prompted me to reconsider some of them.
Wiki Links: Enabling Logging / Detailed Search Help - MacBook Pro (2014), ThinkPad E570
Down to 4 items (and will be three later this month).
There are two reasons:
a) Community pricing has stalled - I have bids on lots, but there is little progress;
b) Lack of recommendations in the forums about must-buy resources on Pre-pub - I rarely look at Pre-pub and don't allow mailings, but do take note if well-respected forum-people rave about something that looks interesting.

Wish List: way too long!
0 shipping, 11 under contract and 60 gathering interest (some of them from 2013!)
Bruce Dunning:How long is your list? Is it any different than it used to be?
2 Shipping (one this month, one in April, which I think is less than usual, and spread out more into the future - Faithlife shipped a lot recently)
11 Under contract (including Aquinas commentary on Isaiah, which I signed up for in 2012!)
25 Gathering interest
I find that there are less former CP resources on the list (which is a good thing, as it says Faithlife actually produced & delivered them) and the individual price of the items is smaller than it used to be (the median of my list is at 15.99 or so) - I had to delete some more expensive ones in recent times (such as Carson's sermons, which shipped in the meantime) due to budget restrictions.
Running Logos 9 latest (beta) version on Win 10
Down to half a dozen items.
Seems Logos is concentrating on developing resources for other languages -- a good thing.
That plus I have much of what I need for the rest of my life.
Bruce Dunning:Is it any different than it used to be?
Trending shorter, partly because none of my CP bids are going over.
