I couldn't a buy a geo-restricted book at Faithlife Ebooks, so I bought it elsewhere and came back to add it to the Print Library but couldn't. I can see the book when I search for it but there is no option to add it to the Print Library. Question is: are geo-restricted books not allowed in your Print Library as well? Or is something else happening here?

I can confirm that. Geo-restricted books are unavailable.
Thanks for confirming. I wonder if Faithlife has any plans to deal with this additional restriction.

That particular book is also restricted for my country and I also cannot add it to the print library. I think the issue is with the publisher and not with Logos.
It is possible that the publisher has sold the publishing rights for our countries to someone else and so Logos cannot sell them to us. Often a local publisher may own those rights.
Very annoying to say the least.
I'm aware that I'm unable to buy the book from Faithlife because of the publisher's restrictions. I wasn't aware that this restriction would also prevent me from fully utilizing a feature that Faithlife sold to me.
An FL employee (can't remember who) explained the problem before.
Some publishers only require that their licenses are sold in the local currency, whereas FL currently charges USD prices to all customers. An update for local pricing has apparently been in the making for a long time already.
I don't see how this restriction should have any impact on the print library. I suspect that's a genuine bug, and not by design.
For a workaround, you can contact me on FL messaging.
These are my thoughts as well.
How do you message someone on FL? I'm seeing your profile but no way to send you a message.
That's strange. I can't message you either. You can contact me on messenger.
There are some titles that cannot be imported to Print Library Catalogue.
Sometimes the publisher forbids us from importing specific titles.
That is the case with "Classical Mythology A to Z", "A Great Idea at the Time", and "Biography of an Idea". It is simply a coincidence that these titles also have geographical restrictions as well.

You need to be both Members (not only Followers) of a Faithlife group, then you can message each other.

Thanks, Joe!

Thanks for the confirmation. Sometimes it pays to read the fine print, right?
Thanks, that makes sense.
