Not available in Logos, but this book might interest you http://www.amazon.com/Enoch-Qumran-Origins-Forgotten-Connection/dp/0802828787
I got it at a used bookstore earlier this year at what was apparently a great price, and it gave me a lot of new information about Enoch's influence.
2 reviews can be found at Review of Biblical Literature. Both highly praise or recommend it.
Product Description
The rediscovery of Enochic Judaism as an ancient movement of dissent within Second Temple Judaism, a movement centered on neither temple nor torah, is a major achievement of contemporary research. After being marginalized, ancient Enoch texts have reemerged as a significant component of the Dead Sea Scrolls library unearthed at Qumran.
Enoch and Qumran Origins is the first comprehensive treatment of the complex and forgotten relations between the Qumran community and the Jewish group behind the pseudepigraphal literature of Enoch. The contributors demonstrate that the roots of the Qumran community are to be found in the tradition of the Enoch group rather than that of the Jerusalem priesthood.
Framed by Gabriele Boccaccini's introduction and James Charlesworth's conclusion, this book examines the hypotheses of five particularly eminent scholars, resulting in an engaging and substantive discussion among forty-seven specialists from nine countries. The exceptional array of essays from leading international scholars in Second Temple Judaism and Christian origins makesEnoch and Qumran Origins a sine qua non for serious students of this period.

Since it is an Eerdmans publication, it would probably be relatively easy to get permission to publish it in Logos.

I would vote for a "Boccaccini" collection...I have most of his books in dead tree, from his work on Middle Judaism, to Qumran and Enoch. Even when I disagree with him, his approach to hard questions has always impressed me!
