Where Do Missing Books Go?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Another come-on title; sorry.

But I was about to file a screwed-up-book report with the local Logosian police, until I couldn't locate the book in Logos, or Faithlife. In my order history, it's in 'black' …. funeral.

Then I wondered if it's one of the secretly removed books (when a title offends, they quietly remove it). In this case, it's "Classical Mythology A to Z: An Encyclopedia of Gods & Goddesses, Heroes & Heroines, Nymphs, Spirits, Monsters, and Places". Maybe those nymphs got too busy!

Seemed like a good book; recent. But totally 'reader edition' … kind of like Kindle doing Bibles.

But it's in your library, right? I have it and its in healthy shape.

I did do a half-hearted effort to see if there were objections about it on the web but didn't find anything. And it's 4.8/5 stars on Amazon. It does make me wonder why it was pulled. Contract stuff with the publisher, perhaps?

It is with several other A to Z volumes.

Well! The missing volume! Thank you!

Ah, this infamous (to me) book. I couldn't buy it at Logos (geo-wonderful-restrictions); bought it at AMZ, came back to Logos to add it to the Print Library and couldn't because publisher put the axe on that 🤦🏽‍♀️

It depends on what site you open your order history on.

But search for it on the general ebooks site and it will come up.

And sorry to the rest of you… it's now $14.99. You've missed out.

Yep … I can never remember the Faithlife site. I'm ok from Logos to Verbum, but then cold logic halts me in my tracks.

Well, since we're on the Classic Myths book, I thought an added comment might be helpful (future wonder'ers).

"… not comprehensive. Rather, it is limited to those Greek and Roman characters and places that appear in Edith Hamilton’s classic work, Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes, for which it has been designed as a companion"

This one, maybe: https://general.ebooks.faithlife.com/product/271868/mythology-75th-anniversary-illustrated-edition-timeless-tales-of-gods-and-heroes?queryId=0a4763cefe5dc9d36f1990576a352179 (deluxe edition!!)

I was wondering why only a gazillion gods were included!

I didn't know Logos carried this one, not that it matters as it's geo-restricted for me. I have the print version (well, not this fancy 75th anniversary one) and I can't add it to my Print Library either 😭
