Why are books I own in Logos showing in Print Library? And how to buy from here?

Maybe I don't fully understand this feature...I open Library, then Add to Library, and I see a whole list of books "Buy books - or add them to your print library for free."

1) Many books have the 'lock' unlocked - when I hover it confirms "You already have a license to this resource." So why are these types of books in the Print library section, since they are already in my library?

2) Is there a way to filter out books I own?

3) How do you actually attempt to buy a book from this list? To make it easy to find unowned books, I filtered with fiction books, as I was pretty sure I have very few of those in my library, and there is no lock icon at all.

Thanks!

Because, if you also have them in print, you might want to add them to your Print library.

3) How do you actually attempt to buy a book from this list?

Clicking on the title of an unowned book should bring up a panel with a link to try to buy it.

You should be able to use the "Purchase" facet under "Availability".

Andrew, I have a list of Devotional resources up where there are many I don't have of course. I can click on the title and see the chance to buy (thank you SineNomine), but I do not have any facet "Purchase" under Availability - the only facet there is "Add to Print Library" (see picture below).

Thanks, that makes sense. I still wonder though why I cannot filter those out if I am not in the mood to add Logos-purchased books to a print library at the moment - like I can filter by all the other facets..
