Bump! The first of these is available in Kindle (link added). The other is not in Kindle but is a print-on-demand book from IVP with whom Logos has a relationship, so it should be possible to get it. No excuse for ignoring this request for nearly seven years.

Well, if they think it won't sell... especially now that their standards for what they'll add to the Pre-Pub program are higher.
What's your argument that it will sell and that FL will make money on it?

I didn't realize it was my responsibility to make sure they will make money on it before I demand that they put it in their format for me. ;-)
They've already got a lot of Derek Kidner books, so they obviously think he's an author worth carrying (though maybe that was before their standards got stricter; I've been off the forums for several months so I must have missed reading about that change in policy).
This particular book is #60 on Kindle among Wisdom Literature books. I would say that's a risk worth taking.
As for the other one, perhaps not so much. They don't carry any books by T.M. Moore yet, and that one of his is only #490 in Bible Study & Reference > Meditations > Old Testament on Kindle. But it is not a book to yawn at. It was the recipient of a 2002 Christianity Today Award of Merit.
I don't make book suggestions lightly, usually.

[:-P] I don't want to challenge your suggestions; I was just looking to see them made stronger.

It was noted by at least one FL employee in the aftermath of the Great Pre-Pub Cull that internal cases for carrying something had to be made, and well, now.

I know. Me too.
