Just got the new Hastings Dictionary (1 volume) from 1909.  However, the description data says it is the 5 volume version.   The 5 volume hasn't shipped yet according to info in my orders page.

What is going on?

    My guess is that the "5" volume set has been turned into a single volume to help keep the library from getting bloated.

    No, they are different volumes - the 5 volume one is at http://www.logos.com/product/6374/a-dictionary-of-the-bible and the single volume resource is at http://www.logos.com/product/6388/dictionary-of-the-bible

    Sorry, I don't have the resource so can't comment on your original question apart from to confirm that from the product page the 5 volume resource is still under development.

    It's a typo in the description. It says it is the 5 volume work, but it is not. Logos needs to fix this.

    And while they're at it, they also need to change the "type" from "dictionary" to "encyclopedia"

    I just got my copy this am.  Since the articles here and in some other works such as AYBD are signed, I think it would be helpful if Logos were to add an author field which is searcheable so that one could run a search for all articles signed by the author without getting all of the locations where the author may be mentioned in the body of the article.
