Lexham Bible Guides Over-priced?

With Paul's Letters along it costs 419.95, I can't imagine how much it would costs for the whole Bible. Does it really need to be that expensive?

And I can't imagine why this is not included in any of the base packages. Even Logos can't get a deal from Logos to include it in a base package?

I've been curious about the price as well. I've jumped into prepub with the Lexham Bible Guide: Jonah to test the waters, unless Logos might shed some more light on how these guides work.

My understanding is that these resources take some of the legwork out of familiarizing yourself with relevant resources in your library. It probably also introduces you to "potential resources" for further study.

After reading this I went to check my order:

I was not as diligent in following up with what's new in Pre-pub. I ordered Gen 1-11 some time back, just received notification few days ago that it is going to ship. However, I am not aware the 2vols is in pre-pub, so going to changing my order before it shipped.

Paul ... obviously you're not familiar with what happens when you 'jump in the waters' with Jonah. Luckily Leviathans typically don't digest wallets.

Over-priced? I've written my views at http://community.logos.com/forums/p/59989/426615.aspx. The thread is titled How to Save Yourself Hundreds of Dollars, which clearly indicates whether I think they are worth it...

Thanks for your feedback. In light of the comments, I’d like
to offer some thoughts on the Lexham Bible Guides and why they’re valuable for Logos users. Lexham Bible Guides perform research
on biblical material for you by offering a curated and annotated set of links
to the most relevant content in the Logos library. True to their name,
they serve as a “guide,” not only to particular biblical books, but also to the
vast territory of your digital library. The Lexham Bible Guides are designed to
save you time by introducing and summarizing significant issues in the biblical
text, and by leading you to the most relevant discussion of these issues in other
resources. Most fundamentally, the Lexham Bible Guides help you take advantage
of the interconnectivity of Logos’ software. They’re designed to maximize the
potential of Logos’ core software engine, and there really isn’t anything
comparable to them on the market. The Lexham Bible Guides are written with the features and interconnectivity of Logos’
software in mind. We’ve established the current
prices based on delivering this kind of value.

I’d like to offer some thoughts on what we hope these resources to achieve for customers, and why we think they’re valuable for Logos users.

Who is your target market for this series?

On one level, they seem very "introductory", but they are linked to some high-end resources that someone looking for introductory material would not have in their library.

You know I have been one of the biggest defenders of Logos when they have really taken a beating but this time I can't. The pricing on these resources is ridiculous and for no substantive content it just borders on seeming greedy to me. I am really put off by this whole thing.

Sorry Mike but there is no value in these resources based on their pricing and the fact they point heavily to commentary sets a student or average pastor is never going to be able to afford. I cancelled my pre-orders for these after getting the Ephesians volume. Logos is taking there own hype on this series too seriously if they really think this series is value for the price being asked.
