Hi Lonnie, welcome to the forum. Some yes, some no. Anything in particular you are looking for?

It depends on whether they have been unbundled or not.
In general, Logos do try to unbundle bundles but this normally takes place sometime after the bundles have been made available.
And, in some cases, they are not allowed to by the publishers.
The thing to do for any book you are interested in is see whether it is available individually on the Logos website

Unfortunately, individual books can only be purchased if they are offered individually.

That depends. Some are only included in bundles. From time to time a bundle will be broken up so that it then becomes possible to purchase the individual components in the bundle. The only problem with that is that the individual prices are sometimes in excess of the bundle price. Compare
with

Here the individual volume is actually more expensive than the 4 volume bundle.

Just to add to what others have said.
They get broken up but not all of them. (i.e. Don Carson's Scripture and Truth has to be purchased in a bundle and isn't available individually).....See this thread http://community.logos.com/forums/p/41600/377195.aspx#377195

I'm a bit curious on the pricing. Why is the Individual Title more expensive that the bundle/collection that not only includes the Individual Title but added other books?

It doesn't always make sense, and sometimes, it is in error. These books are normally on the more expensive side anyways... It would certainly be better to get the bundle. [;)]
OFF TOPIC: Something similar happens to me regularly on Amazon. I can often purchase a physical CD WITH an " digital download" of the MP3 less expensively than the "digital download" by itself. Go figure. So of course, I let amazon send me a CD I don't want and am still able to download the music on the spot. [:D]

Perhaps the various marketing departments misapply Matthew 6:3 [H]

Thanks for sharing! I'm still curious why Logos and Amazon do it, though as end users we benefit from the pricing on the bundles.
Are there any differences in buying the bundle vs buying the individual titles?
If I buy the bundle, will it appear in my Logos library as Individual Titles where I can choose which Individual Title to download to my mobile device?

Yes... If you try to sell the resource at a later date, it's "all or nothing." Your license for the one book is tied to the others.

Yes. In this regard it is identical. It will be a separate resource.

Of course there is, when you buy a bundle you give more $$$ and that's what every business wants from your pocket. Remember Logos is not ministry, but a business... If you just want one book, they are interested to bundle it so you would buy 10,20,30 or more books in order to get the one which you really like.

But as it stands now, Logos wants $450 of my money for the Zonderan Language Bundle and they are getting 0 of my dollars, rather than the $50 they could get if they offered Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics as a single title.

Don't worry about it since you can do better than GGBB.

GGBB is the perfect compliment to the morph tagging in my Reverse Interlinear (yep, I just poked the bear! [:D])

Maybe instead of "poke the bear" I should have used "slapped the bull" http://youtu.be/w48mTYPtb28

)How do I know that XXX is a YYY? Because GGBB says so (If you would translate it as ZZZ then it's YYY) and my Reverse Interlinear translates it that way. Somewhat circular reasoning in addition the not increasing your knowledge of Greek.

Thanks for all your inputs. By the way I'm planning to buy this bundle: https://www.logos.com/product/8582/john-macarthur-essential-bible-study-library#019 instead of buying the MacArthur Study Bible Individual Title.
