Hi Ben,
Is the New Interpret's Bible always going to be on bundle? See here: https://www.logos.com/product/8803/new-interpreters-bible-a-commentary-in-twelve-volumes
Thanks!
Unfortunately, it's not even possible (within reason anyway ...) as it was created as one resource. We'd have to create multiple resources, which is possible but creates a number of knock-on issues (how do we handle notes and highlights, how do we handle people who already own it, how do we handle dynamic pricing. Internally, we'd have to maintain multiple resources with the same content, which is not ideal for us or the user.)
If we could go back and redo it, I'm sure we'd make it multiple resources (I wasn't even here when they initially created it so I'm not 100% sure why we decided to do it that way).
Sorry to be the bearer of disappointing news ...

I did buy a bundle recently... it was on sale... I will not buy any bundle unless there is perceived value to me.
I would love for Logos to "NOT" bundle at all and offer only individual books and resources.... I definitely would spend more to be able to build my library my way instead of having to get things I would never use.

I think we need to, as Ben hints, separate history from current practice. Few resources that are obtained with contemporary licences agreements are locked into a series purchase.
Historically some resources were handled in a way that need one to purchase the whole series in a single purchase. I don't think that you can really consider these a bundle in the same way that 'legacy libraries' are a bundle.
I seem to have little problem building my library on single book purchases but then again I am rarely looking to expand my commentary collection.

Is it possible to separate this collection out into individual titles? I am interested in the Psalms books but only 1 of the 4 is sold separately. Thx

This language on the product page makes me thing this is not a key resource to Faithlife: "
This includes the newest volume In the Presence of My Enemies. Both the new volume and this collection are scheduled to ship in April 2021."

many moons ago.... I built a "on the shelf" library - one book at a time (I was money challenged then as I am now).... I bought Thomas B. Warren's books one book at a time... I bought "Lainge Commentaries" and and many others and such ... Authors like Goebel Music, Wendell Winkler, Johnny Ramsey, Wayne Jackson... just to name a few..... and books about debates... such great study resources all .... "one book at a time"... but I did it.
--- IF Logos had such books by authors like those..... and --- IF I could buy them one at a time.... I would much rather have those books in Logos and be able to get rid of my personal "database" or "periscope" of where things are in those books.
But .... alas.... my books are not Catholic....and Logos doesn't buy resources like my "on the shelf books" probably because of lack of audience.... such is life ... Logos is a great bible program.... but because of bundling.... and lack of resources to purchase ... and being "money challenged".... Well... I don't give up hope! [8-|]

Looks like Josh McDowell's book Evidence That Demands A Verdict is available as a single....here. This may be a 2nd edition.... as I notice it has his son Sean listed also. The original edition did not have the son listed.
I give the book 3-4 stars. It has some good material about apologetics...

Bundling refers to the practice of combining multiple products or services together into a single package and offering them at a discounted price. The idea behind bundling is that by offering multiple products together, companies can increase the perceived value of the package and make it more attractive to potential customers. In the case of Logos/Faithlife, they offer a variety of products and services for the Christian market, such as Bible study software, digital resources, and online courses. By bundling these products together, they can offer customers a comprehensive package of tools and resources for studying and practicing their faith, while also providing a discount for purchasing multiple items at once.

Stephen, welcome to the forums.
And you're exactly right ... though quite often a publisher uses bundling as a test-balloon for determining interest.
However, Faithlife welcomes this thread for identifying bundles that would benefit from resources also being sold individually. A win-win for everyone.
For sure, if you see a good example, be sure and suggest it for consideration.

@Mitch Snyder,
Quick question on this resource [View:https://www.logos.com/product/6786/lexham-discourse-hebrew-bible-bundle:550:0].
Why is it bundled and now only available in the Logos 6 Reformed Diamond Legacy library? It used to be available separately prior to the legacy bundles and then it got bundled and not available for sale. It is available in a verbum subscription but then it is only temporary access.
Mainly wanting to know if the Lexham High Definition Old Testament: ESV, Glossary and Introduction would be available for sale un-bundled?
The Lexham High Definition New Testament is bundled in a much lower package, Losog 6 SDA Bronze legacy library: [View:https://www.logos.com/product/3832/lexham-high-definition-new-testament-esv-edition:550:0]
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Heath, this bundle is no longer for sale and there no plans to bring it back in this configuration. That being said, the Glossary and Introduction are included in the Logos 10 Full Features.
