I guess it's the New Year. Or just using Logos.com

I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before. But it illustrates Logos.com isn't what it used to be. Pulling PrePubs by 'Progress' used to display prepubs almost ready!! Whoo hoo! Now, it's almost ready YEARS AGO (almost 6 years ago to be exact) … and there's more down below almost ready years back.

    I'd kind of add, I'm at a loss trying to narrow down 'serious' prepubs … meaning traditional Logos. There's 'Topic' but that's one-at-a-time. There's 'Religious' but that didn't do much. There's 'Academic' but that didn't look too 'academic'. There's various formats but that's no longer predictable.

    Anyway, for anyone wanting a good discounted, deep-dive into Jesus' use of Hellenistic imagery (shipping tomorrow). Amazon comes in at a cool $45/Kindle and a $77 print.

    There's quite a few things that don't work well anymore.

    Displaying books by the savings… high to low or low to high doesn't matter, it's random. It's been like that for a while.

    Many of the author/publisher links do not work. The top ones do, but the ones further down the page do not.

    The above ones work.

    The below ones, from the same page, are all invalid. Most pages are like this.

    I tried your point (sort by savings). I was surprised at all the free prepubs!! How is that even possible? "We'll give it to you, but only if you want it!"

    But judging from no-fixes, I assume Logos.com is a big success … or the dev's are trying to get the denom-packages produced before summer.

    If you're referring to the R. C. Sproul ones, don't hold your breath. I ordered this one 5 years ago :-) But if I recall all the Crucial Questions books have always been free (in other formats as well, such as Kindle). The publisher just wants them to be free. So that probably explains why there's not been much of a hurry to get the rest of them finished.
