Many of these may be less exciting than some other options but they all have a place in a reasonable diverse research library ... so give each some serious thought and pick up a couple.
I look forward for this. [Y]
Turns out I already bid on all of these over a year ago. I would definitely like to see them break through on Community Pricing.
I still think that this collection would do much better broken up by Saint, especially since psychological research has shown that people tend--quite irrationally--to value collections of items containing some items they don't want as less valuable than the same collections only without the undesired items.
I imagine that there are a good number of people who would, for example, bid $10 USD on the two St. Isaac Jogues volumes and another $10 USD on the St. Damien volumes who have not bid $20 or more on the entire collection. And that's even when we ignore how boring-sounding and interest-destroying a title like "American Catholic Saints Collection" is.
Only two of those which I had't bid on but added in my vote for them....
And while this is Anglican I do think it would have great value to Catholic readers...

Probably a dumb question, but when these things go from gathering interest to in progress, does Logos give advanced notice that we'll be charged so we can make sure we can cover it?
It's over, for $40 and potentially falling.
Neo-Scholastic Theology and Philosophy Collection (24 vols.) It's over, for $40 and potentially falling.
Now available on Pre-Pub for $144.95.
Ugh, I meant to bid on that one but forgot.
Still time to bid on the rest of them....
Yep, did that to make sure I didn’t miss any more
