Logos is making paper books... really!
No, we haven't given up on digital... but we know there are some people who haven't joined us yet. And we want to make sure that the excellent content our team is producing is available to them too. (And spread our production costs out, so we can make things even more affordable for everyone!)
If you've used and enjoyed a Lexham Press title (one of the Logos-created books, like Steve Runge's High Definition Commentary: Philippians, or the Connect the Testaments devotional), we'd appreciate your reviewing the paper editions, too.
You'll find our Lexham Press titles at Amazon and other booksellers.

Thanks!

The octopus is getting hard to follow all the legs. Even the Lexham label on the used book market!
But no Kindle version (sigh!).

Un-sigh for that one! Saw another one that deserved my Kindle.

OK I posted a review I did a while ago for the Abraham Book.

Well, at least it looks like they have Kindle in their marketing plan. So I'd expect other titles to come out for Kindle eventually. Unless this one was just an experiment and they determine that it's wasn't worth it.

Most publishing companies have made the journey from paper to digital but Logos' journey is the reverse!

If someone wanted to get a book published by Logos what would they need to do?

That's cool, Bob. Now I will be recommending resources to my die hard paper people friends. I hope they are printed on high quality paper, so they smell good after a few years.

this sounds like a double standard. Users made this same exact argument in favor of BibleStudy Magazine in digital Logos format.

I'm not sure I follow the logic. This new project develops the "hard copy is good" mantra. There may well be extant digital versions already on tap, but the direction is still toward tangible analog presence. Bob said when BSM came out that his desire and intention was to have a hard copy publishing presence, and he felt that offering the magazine in digital (especially within the realm of his own digital kingdom--my words) would severely hamper and undercut his intended purpose of cracking the analog domain. I really don't fault him for that approach, and I fully understand and agree with his concerns.
BUT, I do think two things mitigate that cut and dried rule. First, after some time, I think back issues ought to be made available digitally because I don't see how those can harm his primary purpose. Going a step beyond that, I have proposed on numerous occasions that a "waiting room" program be initiated that allows customers to get current issues digitally while having the hard copies sent to professional offices that have waiting rooms. That would make current customers happy (who tend to want less tangible clutter in their lives), while putting the magazine in the literal hands of folks who are very likely to be unfamiliar with Logos and are thus a great potential source of new customers.
Like a lot of my ideas, it seems to have fallen on deaf ears, or at least dismissive ones. Still, I think any viable, self-sustaining foray into Biblical resource publishing is a good idea for Logos, so long as it doesn't weaken and hopefully strengthens the company.

I don't think that I would go as far as calling it a "double standard" but it only makes sense that BSM would also be produced digitally. I don't really understand the logic for not doing this.

I think the hard-copy idea is curious. Especially when Bob has made a science of resurrecting old religious books.
On Amazon, there's been many a time when the instant publishers (re-prints) are the only real source for something I'm looking for (absent bulldozing through the hard to read PDFs). Used books can only work for so long (as a viable market for unusual tomes).
