Next three CP titles -- let's push them over the top!

Now that a whole bunch of Community Pricing resources just moved over into pre-pub today, the next tier are on their way up to 100%. Here are the top choices, based on sorting by Progress. Some great prices and great works. I'm personally puzzled why Thomas Cranmer and Dictionary of the Apostolic Church, which have been in CP longer, are lagging slightly behind Simcox whom I'd never heard of before. But whatever. I'm in on all three.

Visit these pages and make a bid. Richard Wardman will be very grateful if you'd help him get the Thomas Cranmer collection into production soon so he can use it for his thesis work:

William Henry Simcox Collection (4 vols.) - currently at $21

Thomas Cranmer Collection (10 vols.) - currently at $30, with a nice shallow tail on the left so it's likely to go down to $20 ultimately

Dictionary of the Apostolic Church (2 vols.) - currently at $10

fgh

I'm personally puzzled why Thomas Cranmer and Dictionary of the Apostolic Church, which have been in CP longer, are lagging slightly behind Simcox whom I'd never heard of before.

That Manual of Councils of the Holy Catholic Church which just left CP was at 32% -- and moving fairly slowly -- only shortly before it suddenly hit 100. There is no way it could have moved that fast naturally, unless a whole bunch of colleges suddenly put it on the required reading list (not too likely...). Several of the others we just said goodbye to weren't all that high up either before last week. In fact the entire CP list has been rearranged pretty considerably. And, as I'm sure you've noticed, it doesn't normally change that much from one month to another. A new addition might work its way up, but the things that have been there for half a year don't suddenly jump 5 places. 

So I'm guessing Logos must have redone their calculations on a number of books. Someone must have discovered a systematic error, or maybe they've found a way to cut some costs on a certain type of resource. It seems to be mainly the very small resources that have jumped upwards. Though that may be because they haven't had time to revisit the larger ones yet.

I suspect the Greek Justin Martyr in prepub jumped the last step a little bit too fast as well. Not to talk about NABRE, which went from 30-40% to 100%. Though the latter may be because of some agreement with the Catholic Church. Or Logos might have decided they should simply have it, and it will sell enough over time. If we're really lucky they might even have decided to add it to the base packages at some point and get the volume that way.
