Welcome to the forums Tim! [:)]

May I know if Logos will consider selling the "N.T. Wright for Everyone Bible Study Guides"?

Logos isn't likely to give you a direct answer. Here is the best I can do:

Logos considers selling EVERYTHING that might be of interest to its users. These resources certainly "fit the bill".
Normally Logos offers resources on PREPUB first. When a resource is in Prepub, they are gaging interest. If enough users are interested, Logos will begin production on that resource. Users are charged only when the resource "ships." No dates are ever given until the product is about to ship.
A resource like this is likely to be sold only as a collection to begin with. (You would have to buy ALL the books at once). After a period of time (generally a year or more) the collection may be "broken up" allowing purchases of individual volumes.
Resources sold in Vyrso are much different. Not all resources have pre-pubs, and the time for resources to be added to the Vyrso store is much shorter. Since the Vyrso edition books are automatically converted (rather than having manually added tags), some resources debut the same day in the Vyrso store as they do in Kindle, etc.
My guess is that these resources would end up in Logos rather than Vyrso. There is one NT Wright study guide in Vyrso, but it is by a different publisher.

I sent an email to someone at Logos asking them about these. I think they would be fine in Vyrso, which would be great and they could be added relatively quickly.

Thank you. This is a good companion to Wright's commentary series.

Hi Tim,

Are these the ones you mean?

As far as I can tell, he's still working on the series. We have all of the titles he's released so far.

Hi Ray

No, Tim is referring to the study guides which are companions to the commentaries

See http://www.amazon.co.uk/For-Everyone-Bible-Study-Guides/dp/0281061785 for an example

And having the series available in Logos would be good[:)]

Ah. Got it.

I'll pass this suggestion along to the right people.

My personal opinion? These would be best in Vyrso... But I understand Logos would probably put them in logos Instead. In which case, I would purchase them from Amazon. [;)]

I'd prefer Logos for two reason:

linkage to the text
text fields to enter answers ... although this feature is too limited for my taste at the moment, the abillity to enter sample/interesting answers is valuable to me.

Yes, Graham, that's the one. Excellent guides for personal and group Bible study.

Have you used these? How would they link to the text? And the text fields? Waste of time. Logos SHOULD develop that feature much more. As it is, I'd rather convert the kindle version.

And the text fields? Waste of time.

Perhaps. But I have learned that Logos interprets "lack of use" as "lack of interest" rather than as "poor implementation" so I act accordingly to push Logos in an appropriate direction.

How would they link to the text?

In my dreams, I could make a personal note that linked both the text and the study guide to my note[;)] Seriously, they don't require a great deal of linking but being able to have them linked for scrolling and have parallel results from topic searches ...

Have you used these?
