Despite all of the "turndown" notices issued here for the Bonhoeffer Works pre-pub because of the $340 pre-pub price, it reached production requirements last night after less than 2 weeks.
But, Spicq's fabulous commentary on Hebrews has not gathered enough interest after almost 4 weeks now? Is it name recognition, or does the $40 cost require more interest (participants/buyers) than Bonhoeffer did at $340? Spicq is a translation project,. so perhaps Logos projects a number of those who commit to buying now may not do so in 1-2 years when the translation project is completed, so more early-bird participants are required to meet long term costs. Just a thought.
Spicq's Hebrews is probably, IMHO, the top must-have new publication in Logos in over a year, and experience generally is that a pre-pub that doesn't get full interest in the first month usually takes 6-12 months to get there after that, if in fact it gets enough interest at all. Logos has done their part (emails, a full-fledged Blog posting). What more can be done? Have pre-pubs ever beem the subject of Bible Study Magazine articles?
