As suggested by Ben, here's a dedicated thread for errors detected on Logos.com product pages.
Here's one to start us off: a cloned publisher:

https://www.logos.com/product/151155/mobile-ed-jack-w-cottrell-on-grace-and-baptism lists the same author twice.
Pleased to see this has been fixed... wish I knew which FL employee(s) to give the credit to.

I thought I mentioned that I fixed this but the post didn't post, mea culpa!
Inconsistency on android.logos.com: https://android.logos.com/product/169525/logos-8-zhong-wen-ji-ben-ban & https://android.logos.com/product/169526/logos-8-basic list authors and copyrights. https://android.logos.com/product/170964/verbum-8-basic & https://android.logos.com/product/169524/logos-8-basic do not.
This is also now fixed.
Looking into the Reformation Commentary on Scripture (see https://www.logos.com/search?query=title%3A%22reformation%20commentary%22&sortBy=Relevance&limit=60&page=1&ownership=all ) I found that 14 of the 18 hits carry the abbreviation "REC" in their title - which is wrong, since this is the short name for another series, the "Reformed Expository Commentary". Thus a search for title:"REC" mixes up the two series: https://www.logos.com/search?query=title%3A%22REC%22&sortBy=Relevance&limit=60&page=1&ownership=all I think two of the legit hits from the first search carry the full name plus the short "RCS" in their title, two others only the full name, which is inconsistent. I propose all of them should have the long and the short title. Additionally https://www.logos.com/product/175040/doing-theology-with-the-reformers should have (RCS) in its title since it is part of the series (the preface says so and logos.com has it in the series facet, see https://www.logos.com/search?limit=60&page=1&ownership=all&filters=seriessets-reformationcommentaryonscripturercs_Series%20%2F%20Sets&sortBy=PriceLow which seems to be tagged okay)

This too is fixed.
Thanks, Daniel!
https://www.logos.com/product/190100/inquiry-about-the-monks-in-egypt needs additional tagging as Orthodox.
https://www.logos.com/product/189682/aquinas-institute-opera-omnia-project-bible-commentaries - take a look at the author bio (also here). In addition to the misleading dud of a phrase "where he became a lecturer" and some other oddities also found here, there are formatting problems with the two works linked to.
Sinne Nomine,
I've adjusted the fonts for the two cited works in the Aquinas bio. They look better The bio itself could use an overhaul. Daniel and I are discussing it.
Thanks for keeping us on our toes ;-)

the same issue occurs on ebook.noet.com: here all five books listed are not by C.S. Lewis but by other authors which could possibly be abbreviated as C. Lewis:

Thanks for sending this. This is one example of a wider issue that our development team is looking at regarding our author database. Once the fix is in place, this should fix this and a host of other author related issues. Not sure when it will deploy but I do know that they are actively working on it.
Thanks!

https://www.logos.com/product/150264/the-book-of-saints
"Now fully revised and updated, The Book of Saints is a comprehensive biographical dictionary of saints canonized by the Roman Catholic Church."
"Produced by the Benedictine monks of St. Augustine’s Abbey, Chilworth (formerly Ramsgate), this classic resource..."
"...and is fully revised to include all the saints canonized in the last ten years, including Pope St John Paul II and Blessed Paul VI."
I'm sure you just got this description from the publisher, but the bold part has multiple problems--it's not the last ten years anymore, Blesseds (beati) by definition have not been canonized, and Paul VI is now St. Paul VI, so the very sentence designed to indicate that it's up-to-date does the exact opposite. May I suggest you draft/acquire a new product description?
Also, this book should be classified as Catholic and https://www.logos.com/search?query=%22Dom%20Basil%20Watkins%22&sortBy=Relevance&limit=60&page=1&ownership=all, which searching the author from the page generates, should actually work. (NB: "Dom" is a title.)

Lee,
Thanks for pointing this out! We shipped a few products and erred in not updating that section. We're changing how that section is displayed starting next month.

I believe the ISBN should be
9780827607972 not
9780827609792
The author of this book is incorrectly tagged: https://www.logos.com/product/162844/categories-historical-and-systematic-essays
It is not Michael J. Gorman but rather, Michael Gorman, who teaches philosophy at CUA.
Michael J. Gorman teaches Biblical Studies & Theology at Mount St. Mary's Seminary.
This is one of the broken product pages: https://www.logos.com/product/55535/journal-of-theological-interpretation-upgrade-volumes-7-91
This may or may not be part of your "fixing the author database"-project:
I think this is the Spanish free book in May: https://www.logos.com/product/192415 "Discipulado", the Spanish edition of G. (George) Campbell Morgan's "Discipleship". The author information is wrong, though:
The problem seems to be that the product description of the English edition mixes up Morgan's first and last name, the Spanish product description translates this and uses the wrong author name for the metadata in Logos.com and even in the library! Product details and author bio on the product page are okay, though.
I have the Cascadia Greek Syntax Collection: Graphs and Datasets (2019) but Cascadia Syntax Graphs of the New Testament: Graphs & Dataset shows up as a resource I can buy.

And, what in the content section needs to be corrected? Although, I admit that the formatting is sloppy.
Thanks,
Yes the formatting needs corrected, well did, they have fixed it now. [Y]

"A bright new leader in the Catholic Church..." - Hasn't been true for over a decade. He's been papabile twice.

2. Four of the other works lists the correct author, one work lists the translator as the author, and the others don't list their authors.
3. "Catholic Unoversity of America" - occurs nine times.
4. "Katharine J. Lualdi" - should arguably begin a second paragraph.
5. "several works[,] including"

Will it be a problem? I can’t access the page either, but the email I received from Logos telling me of the closing said that the price would be 13$. (I bid 18)
The author bio on https://www.logos.com/product/194043/homilies-on-the-gospels indicates that the author is a Blessed. She is not. She was canonized more than eight years ago. She is St. Hildegaard of Bingen. The bio is also missing the opportunity to note that Pope Benedict XVI declared her a Doctor of the Church!
https://www.logos.com/product/38782/spicilegium-syriacum -
1. It lists Ambrose of Milan as an author, but the real author is Ambrose of Alexandria. Neither the same century nor the same continent.
2. "Alexandria(before"
3. The additional recommended work is no longer sold by Faithlife.

Hi all,
In the spirit of getting things done better in a timelier manner, I've set up a new email address that I will monitor moving forward regarding errors that you find on our product pages: weberrors@faithlife.com
We'll try to clean up what we've missed so far in the coming days, but moving forward please direct your responses there in order to get the best visibility on the issue.

Could we get a pinned thread at the top of the Logos.com forum with this message?
I've just sent that email address some stuff from this thread by email because that clean up doesn't seem to have occurred.
In the era of https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-com-website, does this email address remain how you would like typos to be submitted?
Personally, I stopped submitting typos because my emails received no reply and my submitted feedback seemingly wasn't dealt with quickly, so I had no idea whether any later corrections had anything to do with my (few) submissions.
