In celebration of the new family of base packages

may I resuggest:

Abouna Salim's book Captivated by Your Teachings
Chorbishop Seely Beggiani's Early Syriac Theology: With Special Reference to the Maronite Tradition

I believe these are very basic resources. Has Logos/Verbum considered the possible markets being opened but the exodus of Christians from the MIddle East ... you could be their go to source for religious books.

A number of denominational presses are very small - they have very few titles available yet those titles are particularly interesting as they provide nearly everything available about the denomination. Others are small because most of the material about the denomination is not available in English. Often these materials are more large pamphlets rather than long studies so they aren't feasible on their own. But if you offered them as collections in the $30-40 range I suspect there would be a market.

You could test the market on the Eastern rites of the Catholic Church which are of interest to Catholics and Orthodox with additional current interest due to the Christian refugees flooding out of the Near East. Some publishers to consider:

• Eastern Christian Publications http://ecpubs.com/
• God With Us Publications http://www.godwithusbooks.com/about.php
• Eparchy of Newton https://melkite.org/religious-education
• Alexander Press http://www.alexanderpress.com/
• Holy Trinity Publications http://www.holytrinitypublications.com/
• Madonna House http://publications.madonnahouse.com/
• Light and Life Publications http://www.light-n-life.com/

The Copts have maintained an online free library for years see http://www.copticchurch.net/topics/thecopticchurch/index.html for how they choose to introduce themselves. You can view their services at https://www.facebook.com/pg/stmarkjc/videos/ For quick answers the Claremont Coptic Encyclopedia should help http://ccdl.libraries.claremont.edu/cdm/ref/collection/cce/id/844 

The Copts are Oriental (Syriac) Orthodox not Eastern (Byzantine) Orthodox i.e.  "pre-Chalcedonian" - but both the Eastern Orthodox and the Catholics have signed ecumenical statements negating this divide. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church was granted autocephaly in 1959,  Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church in 1998. So the Tewahedo Church must be included in any overview.

Copts more broadly include Oriental Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, and Catholic churches. Egypt also has branches of other churches in communion with the Copts. Base churches in order of number of adherents: Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, Greek Orthodox Church of Alexandria; Coptic Catholic Church; examples of churches in communion: Melkite Greek Catholic Church, Armenian Apostolic Church, Latin Catholic Church, Maronite Church, Syriac Catholic Church, Armenian Catholic Church, Chaldean Catholic Church, Syriac Orthodox Church . . .

From the ecumenical (Catholic) perspective documents regarding "Dialogue with the Oriental Orthodox Churches" are available at http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/chrstuni/sub-index/index_ancient-oriental-ch.htm For the Coptic Church that is a rite of the Catholic Church see http://www.copticcatholicpatriarchate.net/ProvaJ/

Beyond a variety of Bible texts, Faithlife carries a few somewhat relevant resources which should not be assumed to be unique to the Copts:

• Saint Macarius the Spiritbearer: Coptic Texts Relating to Saint Macarius the Great
• Saint Michael the Archangel: Three Encomiums (4 vols.)
• Fifty Spiritual Homilies of St. Macarius the Egyptian by Arthur James Mason
• The Divine Euchologion and The Divine Liturgy of S. Gregory the Theologian by Gregory of Nazianzus
• The Canticles of the Christian Church: Eastern and Western in Early and Medieval Times by James Mearns

That should get you started. Don't read books about rather than by them until you are comfortable that you have the basic outlines of the beliefs and practices. And before reading Robert A. Morey, read his credentials from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Morey_(pastor)

There are a number of Coptic resources available in electronic form - some in public domain, some available for free, some very inexpensively distributed. Logos might well be able to negotiate a mutually beneficial arrangement with COePA(Coptic Orthodox Electronic Publishing, Australia and St. Shenouda the Archimandrite Coptic Society.

Suggested items:

Coptic New Testament (with "apocrypha" and multilingual beyond the Sahidica)
Monneret de Villard, Les Couvents Pres de Sohag
Mingarelli, Aegyptiorum Codicum Reliquiae I Venice
Budge, Earliest Known Coptic Psalter in Dialect of Upper Egypt 
Christianity in Egypt 
Coptic Agbeyia 
O'Leary,  The Difnar (Antiphonarium of the Coptic Church,
Mikhail, N. Fundamentals of Reading ofCoptic Language
The Christian Orthodox e-Reference library (COeRL) 
History of Christianity & its Monuments in Aswan …, by N.K. Daoud
Traditional Egyptian Christianity - History of the Coptic Orthodox Church, by Rev. T. Hall Partrick

This could be a very inexpensive foray into the Eastern Church. I'd pay.

And while Logos is at it adding Agnes Smith Lewis' A Palestinian Syriac Lectionary would be a nice addition to Syriac texts.
