There are just a few sentences of preview of Ezra. Extremely disappointing !
Just a few sentences and want us to give funding for their work until 2019 or more ?!

don't you see the NEXT button. There are several pages of preview.

You have to hover your mouse toward the right hand side (near the top of the preview) and you'll see quite a few pages of preview. The formatting reminds me of WBC a bit, and at a glance looks certainly well researched.

Thanks for the preview[Y]. Of course I have pre-ordered from the very first when Logos announced this large scale commentary project. I am looking forward to this series. Kudos Logos. Blessing.

Yes, a list of translations used and a couple of bibliographical references are supposed to inspire us to want the resource? Sorry, I'm not buying that.
EDIT: I see that there really is more that I had originally thought. Logos is being too cute for their own good. When it is necessary to mouse-over to even know that there is the possibility of moving to another page, this does not encourage the average user to continue. It may be considered "cutting edge" programming technique, but the object of posting the material is not to display one's programming expertise. Keep it simple, stupid.

I am sorry, but this is a "horrible" preview. Please post a better preview, this is way to difficult to navigate.

Though the total project will be out by 2019, most of the volumes will be produced much earlier.

Correctamundo! Sure, we don't get a whole commentary, and only a NT OT one, but there is quite a bit to go on.

Exactly what I thought. Especially the font/heading.
Edit: fixed a mistake

i didn't find it so. btw, you don't have to navigate to "next", just click on the the page and it advances to the next screen shot.
The only thing I would like more is an actual Logos preview: to see links, etc. And I thought that at least some of the volumes were somehow tied to Logos technology--not really sure what that meant, but I thought it had to do with particular features in Logos, and not just links to works within it. Anybody know any more?

George, at the top right hand corner of the preview page there is a NEXT button.

A little testy, there, George. Really, calling someone S*****?? [:S] i know that is a phrase, but real people posted that preview. And several of us average users did figure it out.

Welcome to the Logos Forum.
We welcome your input on this series. We have had lots of questions.
H. Wayne House said:The total project will be out by 2008.
Job is shown with an estimated release date of 2019. Several other volumes don't have dates. Some don't have authors listed yet.
Given the normal delays of large commentary series, many Logos customers wonder what is realistic.

How very nice that the editor of the series posted in the forums. [:D]
Dr. House,
I'm assuming you didn't mean 2008. [:)] 2018 perhaps?

it does seem like the WBC formatting.

May I report a typo, already? On the fourth page of the preview it says "Die gottesdienstlichen Vorträge der Juden, historisch Entwickelt" in the footnotes. As "entwickelt" is an adjective it has to be written in small letters. I know, it's German - anyway, correct quotation should be part of any academic ethos! [;)]
Edit: Same typo on the second page, of course.

Oh, come on!!! First page: "Deustsche Bibelgesellschaft" - it's "Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft"! Is this the ready-to-publish version yet?

Aren't we getting a bit PC ? As for "average users" figuring it out, I did too, but not initially. It should be obvious to anyone who looks at it. I would suggest a ¼" border with an arrow visible at all times to show that there is more (As is the case with Amazon though you can scroll through the sample pages if you desire). Again, the purpose is not to display programming expertise, but to display samples of the product.

An adjective? It looks like a verb to me.

George,
"entwickelt" is past participle of the German verb "entwickeln" and thus serves as an adjective in this setting. However we may try to define it - believe me, it has to be written in small letters! [:D]

I wouldn't deny that it should not be capitalized, but as a past participle it is a verb form.

George,
As I said - it is a verb form which, as well as "historisch", in this specific case serves as and adjective to "Vorträge". Believe me, I'm German. [:D]
Edit: Rearranged, the book's title could be "Die historisch entwickelten gottesdienstlichen Vorträge der Juden" or "Die gottesdienstlichen Vorträge der Juden, wie sich sich historisch entwickelt haben" or "Die gottesdienstlichen Vorträge der Juden in ihrer historischen Entwicklung" [;)]

I agree with some of the former comments thus:
- Please do something to make the NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons more visually robust.
- The format strongly resembles the WBC.
- I am happy that brevity is not the primary concern of the commentator, and while at times the comments felt a bit verbose neither did I perceive them to be rambling nor unimportant. Indeed the scope of the comments I well appreciated.
- I spied a few links to ANET which certainly means I'm going to have to bite the bullet on that resource too (my wife is going to rightly do me harm if I don't slow down the purchases. :-) )
For those struggling to view the preview please note that the current preview of Ezra displays 11 pages of introductory material and about 15 pages of commentary on the first pericope of Ezra 1:1-4. At least 26 pages of preview.
While I would greatly appreciate more previews in the near future this one at least has sufficiently whet my appetite for more of the EEC.
How I wish some of the introductory material for Leviticus (2017?!?!?!) were available - though I would gladly settle for a chapter of Romans (TBA?!)
It seems like the other 2011 book is 1-3 John. Any chance on a similar preview of that volume?
Anyways, I am grateful Jayson on behalf of Logos for the preview - I yearn for more before June 1, as do many I'm certain.
Alas, I have to return to today's studies though now. I wish I had an EEC for that...

Dr House, thanks for Joining us. Could we bug you incessantly but nicely for a preview of 1 -2 Corinthians, Philemon or Colossians? [:)]
