Oxford Handbooks Pricing Issue
Today I got the following in an email entitled "Save on Academic Collections and more":
55% off sounded interesting, I was disappointed to discover my actual savings:
Looks to me like no savings from the price listed in the email and 9% savings from the individual prices before being bundled together.
So Faithlife folk, which is right, the email or the web site?
BTW: I can get nine Oxford handbooks in Verbum Academic for about $83, so this email doesn't tempt me, but something is still wrong.

There's also this excellent sale:

And, depending on what you have in your library, you may be able to get it cheaper in a package: https://www.logos.com/product/228309/logos-10-methodist-and-wesleyan-diamond. It's over $100 cheaper for me this way.

This is not an unheard of issue with FL, they use the list price to make the savings look better when promoting it than what it is compared to the real savings on their everyday price. I would prefer they stick to using the later.

For me the Verbum 10 Academic Standard is $149 and includes the whole collection. https://www.logos.com/product/228369/verbum-10-academic-standard.

Actually, I'm not sure it does. Roger. I bought Verbum Academic and several others, but there are 13 I still don't have.

Perhaps the confusion is in which "whole collection" is being talked about. I also bought Verbum Academic Standard for the whole collection of "Oxford Handbooks of Ancient Christian Studies" which includes 7 volumes. At the same time, I was wondering if there was an affordable path to the rest of the Oxford Handbooks.

This is as close as you're going to get, other than buying additional BPs.

The OP was about the 7 volume Ancient collection, all of which is in Verbum. Of course Oxford has a bunch of other handbooks, but it seems if you only want the Ancient 7-volume collection, Verbum is the way to go.

Apologies, Roger, I didn't read carefully. Pleased to know that you're all good.
