How about this one. http://www.logos.com/product/8537/the-jewish-encyclopedia#004 Looking at the scanned pages, it seems like a good reference work.
I agree. This work is amazing.
Totally agree. Also huge is the Catholic Encyclopaedia: http://www.logos.com/product/8511/the-catholic-encyclopedia
It also deserves raising our bids to $50. Hoping this will help it get some traction forward.

If everyone who has bid $30 or less doubled their bid to $60 we'd be at nearly 80% already. If $60 is not your idea of a good bargain, $50 is still surely an amazing price for this set, so bid that and maybe we can find some other new folks who haven't discovered this CP resource yet who might like to bid on it.
OK. I just bumped my bid to $60.

The Jewish Encyclopedia (12 vols.) WOW.. All I can say is this work is stupendous. I realize if you didn't get it community pricing you are not getting it for the $50 I paid but I can say after looking through several entries I would say it;s worth every penny of it;s now regular price. Thank you Logos for bringing us this wonderful resource. -Dan

Thanks from me too!
Good gravy! That Jewish Encyclopedia took 250MB to download! I'm glad I bought it even though it's been succeeded by an updated edition and it's available for free on the Internet as it's in the public domain.
I was going to pass on the Catholic Encyclopedia for those reasons, but for $30 it's worth it to me. Maybe I should bid at least $40 or $50 to help get it moving.
Okay, I did it for $50.
WOW.. All I can say is this work is stupendous. (...) it;s worth every penny of it;s now regular price.
How about writing a review for the product page?
it's available for free on the Internet
And the first time someone runs across an article with ten Talmud references in two sentences and has to look them up manually, he's going to regret bitterly that he didn't get the CP...
the Catholic Encyclopaedia: http://www.logos.com/product/8511/the-catholic-encyclopedia
Yes, please bid or raise, those of you who haven't yet.
Note that it is five volumes and about 5,500 pages longer than the Jewish one, so the current price is actually only one third of what it cost.
If everyone who has bid $30 or less doubled their bid to $60 we'd be at nearly 80% already.
How do you figure that out? What is the math?

You nailed it.

I was way too verbose, I did snip off the end but here is what I had hoped to place as a review:
This is a monumental work and even though it is over a hundred years old it in no way feels dated, beyond the occasional thee/thou/thy/etc.. Scholars still refer to it a most useful reference work for studying today. It is so well annotated as wikipedia states "the Jewish Encyclopedia's almost obsessive attention to manuscript discovery, manuscript editing and publication, manuscript comparison, manuscript dating, and so on…" (as you will see in the except below). It's reverential treatment of Christian texts a pleasant surprise, since this favour was so oft not returned in the history of the the Church. The Jewish Encyclopedia drew heavily on German Jewish sources and it is wonderful to know that this wisdom and knowledge was preserved when soon in it's home country it would start to be extinguished… It's articles are well written, truly a pleasure to read, and not dry at all like so many academic works. I would like to end this short review with a quote from the end of the article on Shekinah:
Nice review, Dan!
I am disappointed that there is no entry for Sabbatai Zevi, but then again the very absence is interesting

Many thanks for this, I guess my mistake was searching for Zevi not Zebi, I am very grateful for the help here.
I have always been fascinated by this bit of history, it would be nice if Logos published some of the works on Zevi such as http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sabbatai-Sevi-Mystical-1626-1676-Bollingen/dp/069101809X/ref=pd_sim_b_1#_
I guess my mistake was searching for Zevi not Zebi
I simply opened the TOC and looked for 'Shabb...'.
I wish Logos' LCV was better than it is.
So the Pre-Pub price was $50$ -?
No. That was the price it came out of CP
