We need more books on hermeneutics, biblical criticism, Bible study etc. My list below is probably not representative of the interests of most Logos users but I think they are all useful to everyone. But I need other people to make suggestions that will make the list more rounded - denomination and by interests. Pull out your seminary lists, personal paper library etc. and help me out.

Of course there is the Fortress series that has been requested multiple times. Then there is:

    Also check out the catalogue of the Regent College Bookstore, particularly their category for Biblical Studies. It is one of the finest theological bookstores in North America (along with Eighth Day Books in Wichita and Hearts & Minds Bookstore in Pennsylvania). The manager Bill Reimer has a  long history in Christian/theological bookselling (ran the Logos Bookstore in Northampton, MA 30-40 years ago when I was a kid) and has keen eye for selecting a wide range of excellent books.

    In fact, I'm so fond of bragging about the Regent Bookstore, that I would love to invite all the Logos product line managers up for a visit to the Regent Bookstore and coffee with me in the Atrium (my treat). I'll even arrange to get you a 20% discount on all books you buy at the bookstore that day, over and above whatever sale markdown price is offered in the store. (Limited to what you can carry back with you in your car.)

    Bump! I am not sure this has been seen by Andrew Jones, Ben Amundgaard, Gabe Martini, Rich Tatum, Martin Weber, or Brian Williams. (Are there other product line managers?)

    I couldn't agree more on the need for more books on Hermeneutics and Bible Study. Also I don't think I can improve the lists suggested already.

    I wish we could tag people in posts like you can do on Facebook to be sure they see them.

    Not that is a good idea, provided they have the opportunity to exercise some control over the tagging. Say 40 persons, and you can block someone from tagging you, and approve the tagging before it actually shows up.
