Books I wish I could have bought on Logos
Most of the time I want to suggest a book in Logos, it's too late. I need the book now. So I'm going to post in this thread every time I purchase a non-Logos book, in the hope that it will help Logos know what sort of books Logos users buy outside the Logos ecosystem.
Today it was two books by Ed Welch
- Addictions — A Banquet in the Grave: Finding Hope in the Power of the Gospel (P&R)
- Crossroads Facilitators Guide: A Step-By-Step Guide Away From Addiction (New Growth Press)
And a few weeks ago it was:
- Encounters with Jesus: Unexpected Answers to Life’s Biggest Questions by Tim Keller (Penguin)

I expect this thread could get very long very fast...there's just no way Logos can keep up with all of the requests people have, even cranking out 10,000 books a year (which seems like a bit of wishful overreach to me--but by all means, give it a try). Only those few things with very broad appeal will be able to skate through the CP or PrePub process in short enough order to satisfy many folks' need for immediate gratification.
Many of the things I want may never see CP or PrePub, much less make it into production. [:(]

Maybe you could also start a thread that reads: "Logos, you just gained a sale"? It would be for those books that Logos has come out before other publishings.

It is naïve to even think that Logos will/can provide all of the resources that one may want/need. To rely solely on Logos for contemporary needs is folly.
I currently have digital resources from public domain, my denomination, Kindle, blogs, my notes, internet, etc. that are close to or exceed in number those I have in Logos.(5889 resources) Many or most will probably never be available in Logos outside of a PB..
Wise discernment and a personal management of available resources is the best course of action. As good as Logos is, it is not the be all end all for an individual's personal needs.

This reminds me of the MAD magazine cover that says "Buy this magazine or we will shoot this puppy." I really doubt it results in Logos publishing a single book that they had not already planned on. This thread will become nothing more than a bunch of links to Amazon.
But have at it, if it makes you happy.

I'm suspecting someone hacked Mark's account, and wanted to know how many Logos bees he could attract.
I think Mark's idea is good; when I was in retail we used to visit our competitors to see what our customers were buying (and visa versa as well).
Maybe Logos product managers could stand outside the Amazon site and watch for any Logosians.

I will buy all of these if they are offered by Logos...I especially would like to see the third one offered along with James Barr's Semantics of Biblical Language, with which it is adversely related. At some point, yeah, I may end up getting the first one in print if Logos doesn't acquire it first. I'll need it to establish what a bad argument for a correct practice looks like for my book on the Passover.
While you're at it, Logos, get this other book by Pitre also, please.

I had been thinking that Logos should ask us what was in our library - or add a library function to Logos so that they could gather the information. It provides a way to prioritize their work. So Mark, I'll cooperate - at the moment I'll leave out logic and linguistics.

On a related note, my biggest disappointment with the Knox/Logos DMin program is the number of books I have had to purchase outside my library. The least Logos could do is request a list of all the required textbooks and attempt to get them into production. For example for a course I am taking in July, I will be purchasing both from Amazon. Lost sale Logos!
- Greidanus, Sidney. Preaching Christ from the Old Testament: A Contemporary Hermeneutical Method. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1999. ISBN: 978-0-8028-4449-1
- Johnson, Dennis E. Him We Proclaim: Preaching Christ from All the Scriptures. Phillipsburg: P&R, 2007. ISBN: 978-1-59638-054-7
Granted the Greidanus volume is in Pre-pub, but who know when it will be done? I have to have this book by July 7th.
I think that Logos should take look at what Apple does with the MacPro. Sure it probably makes up less than 1% of their sales, they may even lose money on it, but the people who purchase it are influential and fuel the sales of all the consumer products that are Apple’s bread and butter.
There is already a thread about the NA28 apparatus, but the same principle applies. If the NA apparatus is delayed too long Logos begins to lose credibility.

I am sure Logos would like to be able to accommodate everyone's desires. They would surely like to have (and sell) what we all want and need. Nevertheless, we all know it is not possible to provide for all. They want to sell resources- so keep making suggestions with patience and gentleness.
BTW, I purchased these Kindle books over the last couple of months.

This is the case with me as well. I recently caved and purchased The Sacred Bridge from Accordance, which also forced me to buy the most basic base package. This then prompted me to purchase their atlas add-in, which I have really enjoyed using. If their had been any communication concerning the Carta material, then I would have waited. Now I like the way Accordance does mapping, so I might continue using it for map/atlas resources.
I also find myself purchasing way more Kindle resources than I wish was necessary.
I would add that I don't have a problem with the fact that Logos doesn't offer all titles; it's the fact that I have no idea whether or not they are working to get suggested resources, or if they are close to production on some. For instance, the OTL/NTL sets were something that I had given up on Logos having, when they suddenly popped up on Pre-pub. I know Bob has addressed this, but I still think communication could be better.
Disclaimer: I hate using messaging, texting, and email for real communication. If anything that I type to you seems like anything other than humble and respectful, then I have not done a good job typing my thoughts.

Pricing definitely is an issue. I think most Logos customers understand the need for Logos to charge more for heavily tagged products such a lexicons and commentaries, but when the only hyperlinks are bible references and end notes is hard to justify the higher price. Vyrso has been a step in the right direction, but even here Logos has been moving more and more resources out of Vyrso into Logos and charging premium prices for essential the same product. One of the consequences of this is Logos can no longer respond and match Amazon's price when publishers are running specials. The Zondervan the following books on sale through the 21st for only $3.99 per volume, as the link below so Logos is far from competitive.

Other than the hyperlinked scripture references these books offer no advantage over the Kindle versions.
I would like to have Logos combine all their resources in one site and visually highlight their premium eBooks like lexicons and treat everything else just like run of the mill eBooks, which is what they are! Pretending as if these eBooks are somehow different or better just isn't working anymore.

I do not think Logos has ever put copyrighted works (other than Lexham products) on Community Pricing. I imagine it has to do with licensing percentages.

They are not pretending. Vyrso books are different and better in one respect. Vyrso books integrate with your Logos library. Kindle, PDF and eBooks do not. Having the ability to include those titles in Logos searches has to be worth something. If it were not you would not be campaigning for price matching.

I can't afford to buy every different e-reader/mobile device that the market wants me to. Publishers have worked for their own interest rather than the customer's by dividing up the e-reader market into incompatible segments rather than forming a common committee to define one core standard that all devices comply to (yet allowing for device-specific enhancements) like other industries have done.
I would like to have the more prose books (those that are not highly versified) available in Kindle. If I already own it in Logos, I'd be willing to pay a small fee for a Kindle-formatted version. Copying and pasting into Word then converting to Kindle is a work-around but then it lacks good format, indexing and navigation. They could also sell it at a higher price as just a plain Kindle book for non-Logos users.
Have a great day,

Have no problem with the Vyrso books. Logos does a good job price matching Vyrso titles. The problem begins when Vyrso books are "upgraded" to Logos and their price is two to three times higher for essentially the same product and they are no longer price matched. This just does not make sense from the consumer's point of view.

Now, this is a huge shortcoming of Logos, IMO. Especially for people who are first introduced to Logos through the mobile apps (like I was). There really should be an affordable desktop/mobile kit for the small church teacher/family who is used to studying at home with a Strong's concordance, Vine's dictionary, NIV Atlas, and Matthew Henry Commentary.

Wow, Dan! I didn't know I had all that stuff. I never downloaded it (Libby'd be pretty unhappy with a competing high-speed Bible package; molassas is OK).
Probably we better get back to all the books we purchase not from Logos. I suppose I should spill the beans with my Kindle library. Oh my.
EDIT: Well, ok. Now I see why I didn't download it.

LOL... I am a fan of both Accordance and Logos... I love ACC for it's stability and quickness as well as simplicity. Logos has a fantastic Library many cool bells and whistles. I do feel Logos would have broader appeal if they offered a cheaper base package. Now in a way Logos and Acc both offer a free base in their iOS apps (android and windows rt too in Logos case). But I know there are many Christians out there that want a cheaper option. I have recommended Logos to many people, but usually the price has most often been a serious sticking point (the ads in the program turned others off, although I have always told people it can be turned off). Now I know that anyone can download logos and have the engine, but that is not made overly clear and a very inexpensive package would go a long way to bringing many more to Logos. I posted what ACC offers for $50 not to encourage people to get it, although I do want people to know even though ACC has no free engine if there is something you really want in ACC that seems to be nowhere in sight for Logos, it is not an expensive route to supplement your Logos library. If ACC can offer a starter package like that so can Logos. FaithLife would make a fabulous starter package. Offer the FL family including lexhman Bible with GREEK HEBREW for $50 and I think Logos could gain legions of new users, who may well upgrade to Logos fuller packages. Again, I know that Logos offers mobile faith life free, but these are not resources that one can download to ones device (at least when I experimented with new accounts to see how well it could work), nor resources one can install on their computer. I honestly just want people to have access to good resources to study God's Word and grow in faith.

In response to someones earlier suggestion of getting syllabi from seminaries, I always make a list of the titles that are in my syllabi and send them to my sales person (sans the ones logos has normally, though this year I sent poor rusty a list of books from the syllabi and the bibliographies listed for extra reading - worked out to be quite a few books - without checking first). I've seen quite a few end up in production, and sometimes seen packages broken up...
I have even noticed some of the titles ended up in the appropriate denominational base package.

God is a Warrior by Temper Longman III
This is one of the Zondervan books currently on sale. Too bad Logos does not carry it.
Description:
God Is a Warrior traces the development of the "divine warrior" motif through the Old and New Testaments, beginning with Israel's conflicts with her enemies and ending with Christ's victorious return in Revelation. Against the broader background of Ancient Near Eastern warrior mythology, Part I discusses Yahweh's warfare on behalf of ancient Israel, and prophecies of the coming Divine Deliverer. Part II looks at the New Testament's Divine Warrior, Jesus Christ, and his war against his spiritual enemies in the Synoptic Gospels, in Paul's letters, and in the final apocalyptic battle in the book of Revelation.

What's Best Next by Matt Perman - this is a book on personal effectiveness and organisation based in theology rather than techniques and software. Logos missed the launch (which would probably have generated quite a few sales). I bought it in Kindle. It's a very good complement to Kevin DeYoung's Crazy Busy, which is available in Vyrso. Probably the only book I've come across on the subject that is theologically based. I suspect this will soon become a standard book on MDiv courses.
This book really ought to be in Vyrso.
