BUG: Another case where the Logos store apparently knows about a book but I can't find it there

Rosie Perera

I was going to suggest the book "Introducing Paul: The Man, His Mission and His Message" by Michael F. Bird (because it appears that Logos has the video but not the book by that title). However when I searched the dropdown menu completed the book title, suggesting that it has it somewhere in its database. How come I can't find it? Was it going to be available but has been removed? Could you put it back?

Looking it up in the "add to library" tab of Logos, it reveals the id of the book is LLS:9780830898336 - i.e. this was catalogized and most possibly also produced as an eBook, then subsequently put down. Maybe this was because someone decided it was better suited to a Logos edition. In such cases they should put up the PrePub immediately, but this doesn't happen, and it may take years until a book actually ships - if ever. I wouldn't hold my breath that this just appears out of the air some day, so don't refrain from putting up the suggestion. I will certainly vote for it and buy it, be it eBook or Logos edition, if they allow me to. 

More detail: That LLS-ID is really the ISBN of the ePub version (thus no search hits on Amazon) which is still available in some places - but geo-restricted. Back in 2008 IVP seemingly released the book under two different titles, globally it goes under "A Bird's Eye View on Paul" which again is not in Logos, but available in Kindle format.
