Thank you, Phil
Thanks for the survey.
Some of Carta's other books are not mentioned in the survey. Carta has many titles that I think I'd acquire, e.g. Menashe Har-El's Landscape, Nature and Man in the Bible. I think (hope?) bringing such titles to a worldwide digital market would be a win-win.
The survey strikes me as a very savvy move on the part of Logos/Faithlife. It was a pleasure to fill it out (even though I didn't realize there are so many Carta titles)..
I’d love for Logos to sell Bundles and Individual volumes. If they start out bundling everything it will probably get too expensive.

Ps. In a way, the survey doesn’t really make sense because how are people going to answer any of the questions if they don’t know what CARTA Jerusalem is?
Gauging by the requests made here in the forums, maybe only a few of us know what CARTA really is and actually own some their books. If that’s the case then that might create a huge problem when putting it in prepub because there won’t be many orders to help with the production costs. Unless, of course, FL and the Publisher partner to produce it and just sell it. Invest now, get profits later. Once people know what CARTA is, they’ll start buying for sure. Guaranteed! 👍😁👌
Phil??
You need to edit some questions: Your first question:
"Do you know what Carta Jerusalem is? (Chose the best answer) I choose "NO."
your second question about the Sacred Bridge? is that part of Carta? I choose "NO" again.
What do you like most about Carta Books? (chose the best answer.) I choose "other". My response, "I don't even know what they are so how am I supposed to answer that."
How interested are you in having the following Carta books in Logos? How am I supposed to answer that? Uninterested? Somewhat interested? Very interested? I don't know these books. give me a link, direct me to the publisher, supply something to me so I can give you an intelligent response.
How likely would you be to purchase Carta books in Logos? Same as above. I DON'T KNOW.
HOW MUCH WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO PAY FOR ALL CARTA BOOKS IN LOGOS? RIGHT NOW??? ZIP, NOTHING. NADA, ZERO.
As a business owner I would certainly tweek those questions and give my customers way more info on what Carta is for those who don't know what it is. My main object is to make money, give my customers fresh quality products, be dependable with my deliveries and give them what they want on time.
So if you're looking for sales - change the survey. For now? I'm out unless you give me information.
I suppose you got your answer to MY current knowledge and feelings [:)] Hope it helps.
All this IMHO
mm.

Done. *is excited* [:D]
FWIW, I bought Accordance purely for the Carta collection. But I’d still buy a Logos version in a heartbeat.

That would be putting the Carta before the horse.

I could not agree more with you on virtually all the points you were making. I have heard the enthusiasm of many of the forum but have yet to work out why. It is not that I am not interested in maps, My dad taught me to read british road maps (the old Bartholomews's ones) at the age of 8 as we cycled as a family and can I browse of a a new map for ages as a walker. This has spread to Bible maps but nothing I had read here has taught me WHY these maps would be so special on Logos.
It’s not simply the quality of the maps and illustrations. It’s the combination of that and the text. You don’t look at a Carta atlas, you read it.
Ditto.
Good one! - Here's grand dad and Prince.

Hey Mark,
Give us an example or a website so we can see what the hoopla is all about.
Well said, mate! 👍😁👌
Very well put, Mark.
Here's a sample from The Sacred Bridge:
MM you likely have seen some of their works as they have be responsible for the best Bible Atlases for decades although their Macmillan Bible Atlas (as it was released for decades) has be criticized for boring maps but you cannot argue for the clarity and the amazing text going along with it. Frankly some modern maps with their dayglow colours are in someways to me very off putting. I don’t know if FL will pursue this or not but it missing from their catalog has been for years a glaring hole. The maps in their premier work sacred bridge along with most others I have scene are high quality and very pleasant to look at, and considered much more attractive that the more monochromatic Macmilla ones.

Yahoo! This is encouraging! Oh, to think of Carta books in Logos...what a dream come true! ...the missing piece to my Bible software.[:D]
But I’d still buy a Logos version in a heartbeat.
I have some Carta products in paper format, and I agree.
But Logos should make sure that we get the latest editions.
As I understand, the Carta products are updated quite often/regularly, and Logos should make sure that by the time each map book is tagged, it is the newest edition.
So would these maps allow one to travel with Paul on his missionary journeys? And at each stop along the journey, would we be able to click and see his ministry (for example) at Corinth?
Would these maps allow one to travel with Israel through the wilderness journey from Egypt to Canaan? And at each stop along the journey, would we be able to click and see what happened for example at Kadesh Barnea?
Phil,
While we're on the subject, I've just finished the Crossway ESV Bible Atlas in print. It's a wonderful resource, and rivals The Carta Bible Atlas. It would be a great addition, regardless of what happens with Carta.

Off-topic: I'd say text-wise Sacred Bridge remains unrivalled in breadth and detail. But I really like the Crossway too. I'd love to go digital in Logos. [Y]
LOL! [:)]
I took the survey without any specific knowledge of the resources that may be available in the spirit of the original request. I trust everything will work out. I'll always consider purchasing coordinated high quality maps, diagrams, photos and descriptions. Pricing is important to me.

I've been away from the internet for two weeks now and this is my first post since. Charlene, you express my thoughts exactly. This is very encouraging!
I agree! I wonder why it isn't in Logos yet? Probably looking for a bundle to stick it in with [8-)]
Where do things stand now?
