Jailbreak a Book from a Collection
Certainly, I get marketing and agreements with publishers that Logos must have to wade through in order to be able to offer certain products. On the other hand, it would be GREAT to be able to purchase a book like this -- Anabaptism in Outline: Selected Primary Sources by Walter Klaassen (which is about $15 and needed for some research) instead of having to pay $891 for the Logos 6 Baptist Platinum collection, which is the ONLY way that book is available.
I wish there were a way to "jailbreak" a resource like this. (this SPECIFIC resource at the moment!)
Haven't posted or used these forums before. Not sure who will read this or respond. Any wisdom or experience here to give me hope?

Welcome to the user forums!
There used to be a thread specifically for the purpose of breaking up collections, which was monitored and reacted upon by Faithlife employees. I'll try to find this and post a link there - the case of https://www.logos.com/product/32220/anabaptism-in-outline-selected-primary-sources is highly unusual, as base packages are not like publisher packages geared to make more money from early adopters or such.
EDIT: As per the wayback-machine at archive org, this used to be available on its own for $18.95 in 2015 - it is possible that Faithlife lost the rights to sell that book r a number of books (the publisher then was named as "Herald Press", now it's listed as "Plough Publishing House" - together with a number of Anabaptist resources that all are unavailable). So it could be that it vanishes completely from the store.
Have joy in the Lord!

Thanks for such a detailed and informed reply! That certainly helps explain what might be going on here. I'll start exploring these forums, as it seems there is a fine knowledge base here, along with more experienced Logos users like yourself. Many blessings, NB.Mick.
