How to attach note to print version of book in library

I have many print versions of books that I do not have digital copies of or that are not available through Logos. The books show up in my library as print as they should after entering ISBN. But I cannot figure out how to associate the notes I am working on to that print book such that the book shows up as one of the filters/references in my notes.

For example, I am working through Richard Bauckham's From Gospel to Glory and creating notes. But I cannot associate these notes to the print book in my library as a resource. 

I understand about the licensing restriction but since I have many 100s of print books not having an ability to tie notes to print books in the library diminishes the value of notes.  

Is there no method to tie a note to a print resource? Or am I just not figuring how this is done.

Thanks for any guidance or insight.

    Can you expand on this please?

    My understanding was that to have a book in your Print Library it needed to be in the Logos catalog. Are you finding this is not the case?

    But, even without that question, I don't think what you are looking to do is possible. As we don't have access to the text of a book in our print library we don't have anything against which we could add a note.

    If I am missing your point, or missing something obvious, hopefully someone else can add some insight.

    A little further clarification on my question: print books do not show up when I try to anchor the note to a reference;

    Thanks Graham for the reply. I've attached a screenshot of what I'm attempting. I just want to associate the note with the book (reference) not the text. Since the print book shows in my library (as a print version) I just need to associate the bibligraphical info with the note. Do not need to do page, or text. Just the book itself.

    Hope this helps.

    As above, I don't think this is possible as an anchor (that needs access to the electronic copy of the book)

    You could add a tag with the information (there is space at the bottom of a note for this). Would that help at all?

    Thanks, I try tags and see if that helps in the short term.

    It would be better as a note.. (in Take a note...). Tags are meant to be short, not anchors, and usually apply to many Notes
