I noticed that Baker Publishing has added a few new books to this series
Matthew; Mark; I, II, and III John; Jude; II Peter; and Acts
Will you be putting up a new set for these soon?
I certainly hope so!!
When we sign a license agreement with the publisher for a series that is not complete, the agreement is that we will be able to publish the rest of the volumes as they are released. The price of the collection only includes the royalties and licenses for the volumes in the collection which can be shipped. We do not charge for something before it ships (why pre-pubs are not charged until they ship). As the new volumes are released they go into a queue to be created because we have already started producing other volumes first and made commitments to those publishers prior to the availability of the later released titles. Hopefully this will give you some background information about how this system works.
I would like to see more consistency in the way new volumes in an existing collection are published
I would like to see those volumes prioritized; It is difficult to have to wait two or three years between the offering of a volume in print and its availability in Libronix. This happened for the NAC, NIGTC series. Series that have a very large user base because of their inclusion in the Scholar Gold package. I ended up buying the new volumes in print format.
The Fact that new volumes do not consistently appear in prepub is also disappointing. Some are even released at or near the list price: I.e. Nolland’s Matthew in the NIGTC (nobody buys books at the list price in this economy)
For those who already have the series in Libronix It would be good if the new volumes could be offered at a price that follows the pricing structure of the prepub price when dividing the price paid per the number of volumes.
This has been somewhat done with the new PNTC that will be published by Logos, but it was not done for the NAC and NIGTC to my knowledge and was surely not done with Hermeneia (the three volume upgrade)
It is very difficult to buy 3 volumes for $130 when you purchased 40 volumes for $600.
The original line from Baker is that volumes would come in thirds. If that's still the case, they're still a volume or two short before the next third comes digitally.
Does anyone know if there are any updates for the newest books in this collection?
not yet.
