Wanted: More John Stott

I was hoping they would put together a John Stott collection to honor him on his 90th birthday, and then later that year when he died. But still nothing. It's a glaring omission in their catalogue. I suspect they're trying but might be having some licensing issues, like they've had all along with C.S. Lewis's works. I'm still hoping for something to come through there eventually too.

I have much the same hope. Brings up a facit of Logos publication I have often wondered about. Stott is an example, and Lloyd-Jones another, of a British author whose works are published by multiple British publishers with separate agreements with different North American publishers for the same work, and sometimes those rights with the North American publisher have an expiration dates. Does Logos have to get separate agreements with both publishers if a work has different publisher in Nrth America and Britain, and would Logos have to keep track of the country in which a buyer resides in order to pay royalties to the correrct publisher? Authors with such publishing arrangements could be presenting some interesting complexities for Logos. N. T. Wright would be another example, one that Logos has clearly been able to scale any hurdles required. Though Wright's works certainly sell in large quantities, Stott and Lloyd-Jones I suspect are far larger cash cows for their publishers than Wright, making negotiations with their publishers probably more tedious and difficult as those publishers greatly fear a major loss of revenue.
