Ah, indeed it is. I thought I'd looked up each of those on the Logos website before posting, but I must have missed one. It's not in my library yet, anyway. So there's another one to add to my wishlist. It just keeps growing. I probably have at least 1000 books on my shelves that I wish were in Logos format! (Well some are already. I'll be considering giving away of all my dead-tree commentaries that I now have in Logos.)
