Mystery books in Verbum Gold
I noticed a large volume of books about Clare and Francis of Assisi in the Gold version of Verbum10, which may or may not still be in production. In any event, they are not linked to product pages, and no information comes up when hovering over them. Those of you with a Verbum Gold package, do you have these books in your library, and can you help me find out who the authors and publishers are?

You could try looking those exact titles up on Amazon.

One by one? And I thought Verbum was supposed to save me time! [:P]
I guess I am also asking if Gold owners have also downloaded these books yet. I am looking at this package, doing research on the historical St. Francis, and the fact that there are so many titles on just him is intriguing to me and is making me consider the package. There's not enough information here for me to make a decision. I don't know what the books are and I don't know whether they've finished production...

Also, I can't help but point out... gotta love how much the Logos.com store directs me to use Amazon.com instead... [:D]

Amazon has all of this information.

If there's no product page at all that usually (though not always) means they are not finished, or at least not finished enough that they're ready for people to buy it individually outside of a base package. People who own the base package may already have an initial copy that will be updated later.
But I suggest you just copy and paste the titles into Amazon and at least you'll know what the books are.

The asterisk at the end of the item description indicates that the resources are not available yet - presumably this is why they don't have a product description page.

I have Verbum Gold, I checked, none of them are there. So Graham is correct.

I'm guessing they all are. The ones on St. Clare of Assisi are here: https://www.newcitypress.com/clare-of-assisi-study-set.html

Thank you all. I should have guessed New City Press--Verbum has been getting a lot of books from them in recent years. They're a fine publisher.
I understand how the store works, asterisks and production and all that. I was hoping this would be a case where they're available to download, but haven't updated the asterisks on the product page, since clearly they haven't been updating the product page, given none of these individual volumes have product pages themselves and the base packages have been out for 4 or 5 months, so it stands to reason that they might not have updated the asterisk upon shipping the products. And if they had shipped, I was also hoping for comments on their usefulness as Verbum titles or their academic credibility (some FL books I have bought recently have had been more buggy than Kindle books and make me regret not buying them on Kindle). But I could have been more explicit about fishing for your recommendations and experience with the digital books. It's a moot point though, given they haven't yet been produced. You've all been very helpful in making the forums a pleasant place to ask questions--thank you.

They are still in production.

That's funny - for me it says "Gathering interest", yet I own it (likely due to being part of Verbum Gold):

My bad...shows gathering interest for me also, not "in production." Long story short, like you I own it just don't have possession yet.

Two weeks too late to be useful to me, haha! The mysteries of Divine Providence are wonderful, aren't they? [:D]
On a more serious note, I'm glad that they shipped and were included in Gold, this was an obvious absence in previous base packages that now really strengthens Verbum libraries. Bravo Verbum.
