This is a great resource and it is somewhat hidden in the SDA Bible Commentary Collection. It may be possible that others who may not be able to get the SDA Bible Commentary might want to get that book (Adventist and non-Adventists alike). Would it be possible to list it as a separate item. Also, I've noticed as I've read a bit of the book that it doesn't have any page numbers. It is possible to get page numbers added? It's not crucial, but would be nice! :-) 

On that same note, a lot of other Bible commentary series can be purchased in individual volumes. Might that be something we could/should do for the SDA Bible Commentary? I already have own all of them but it might be beneficial to have them available for individual purchase as well, if possible.

    John, I share your interest in getting Gugliotto's book into Logos--in fact I've had it right here within arm's reach on my A-list of books to get (signed by the author). I think Gugliotto's book is possibly the most underrated book that the Review has ever published. 

    I've opened a new channel of communication, with the help of BRI, that I hope will be helpful in getting a number of books that we've been discussing.

    Regarding the Commentaries--I've fruitlessly sought to update our contract, but now I am hopeful again.

    This whole licensing process, with church committees and all, is so complex. But we are pressing forward hopefully.

    I agree. Gugllotto's book is invaluable. The Best Bible Study Book in Logos, and as a SDA I can trust the commentary in it. I have that book, but did not know where I picked it up. I thought it was in the SDA Starter package, but I got the Commentary set at about the same time.

    If you think you have it bad ask the Catholic managers what fun they are having.  The CCC and other books put out by that church are licensed by region so that the Logos agreement only allows sale to US and Canada.  So Verbum  needs to have two versions; US/Canada and International.   [[And then Logos / Faithlife will have more fun when they need to split Europe in half]]

    Yes I work closely with my Verbum friends and pray with them about their initiatives, as well as our personal family concerns. I even sang some carols in Latin with them last December (their Latin is better than mine--but they had a head start with Tertullian).
