I wonder if this title will ever be offered...as it is next on my list to purchase in dead tree... http://www.fishpond.com.au/Books/Translation-and-Survival-Tessa-Rajak/9780199558674?cf=3&rid=2045534661&i=3&keywords=tessa+rajak
Apparently Amazon has it in paperback at a considerably cheaper price — http://www.amazon.com/Translation-Survival-Ancient-Jewish-Diaspora/dp/0199695008/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1319893955&sr=1-1
It's an Oxford book, and someone claimed that Logos was having some problems with Oxford, but I don't know whether that is true.
Looks useful.
Go to logos.com. Do a search for "Oxford University Press" (with quotes), Then tell me how many resources you find that are, or have recently been, on prepub? I find 5 collections that include OUP books, and they're all public domain. As far as I can remember none of the (very few) copyrighted books have been published in the last 13 months, and there are no copyrighted books on prepub right now. That's fairly telling...
I also seem to remember an Oxford Latin Dictionary that was pulled.
So I wouldn't hold my breath for any OUP books in the near future.

There are such items in my library (excluding public domain) as COED, LSJ (1996) and Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church.
And were any of those published in the last 13 months? Don't think so!

And why do you choose specifically 13 months? Isn't that somewhat arbitrary? Or, do you know of something which occurred 13-14 months ago which would alter the situation?
And why do you choose specifically 13 months?
Because that's when I bought Logos. I have no knowledge of what happened when before that -- for all I know it could be 2-3-4-5 years since they last published anything by OUP. What I do know, however, is that all those 3 books existed 13 months ago, and I'm almost entirely sure that none of the other copyrighted works were published after that either.
So this is what we know:
To me that indicates that there's some kind of trouble between OUP and Logos. But, of course, If you prefer to believe that the only reason Logos hasn't published anything from OUP for so long is that they haven't wanted to, you are perfectly free to believe so. You may even be right; it just doesn't seem very likely to me, given the number and quality of OUP's books.
And then there's all those other posters who've claimed that there is trouble between OUP and Logos, long before I did. I don't know if they have access to any more facts than I do, or if they too have just drawn their own conclusions.
Ah! Look at what I just found:
We have been unable to license the Oxford Latin Dictionary, so we pulled it from the Pre-Pub page for now.
That's one poster who's definitely got access to more facts than I do! And since they presumably didn't put it on prepub without a license, things must have gone sour in some way between the date it was put there and the date it was pulled.
So this is what we know: Logos did at some earlier point in time have a relationship with OUP. Logos (probably) hasn't published anything from OUP for at least 13 months. Logos also hasn't put anything from OUP on prepub for at least 13 months. The one OUP resource that used to be on prepub has been pulled. OUP is a major high-quality book publisher, with lots of books that should be of interest to Logos' customers.
I'll accept that as a reasonable conclusion though it isn't the only possibility. It is possible that there was simply a problem with that one resource and then there is the fact that OUP publications are somewhat on the pricey side (though that doesn't seem to deter Logos in many cases — Sheffield and Brill are likewise pricey).
I can't believe this thread is over a year old now...but I recently started reading this book and am loving it...a good compliment to Dines (already in Logos)...would still love to see it in Logos though...:)
