This work provides a biblical defense of the traditional complementarian position. Each chapter has been thoroughly revised to make the book’s substantive arguments more accessible, and a new chapter of pastoral application has been added. Contributors include S. M. Baugh, H. Scott Baldwin, Andreas J. Köstenberger, Thomas R. Schreiner, Robert W. Yarbrough, and Dorothy Patterson.
In an age when ideological dogmatism and sheer speculative fancy often displace sober exegesis, it is refreshing to read a book that tries to wrestle with what the text is saying without cleverly domesticating it. This substantially updated edition needs to be read by all sides in the current controversy.
—D. A. Carson, professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
A pivotal text behind a major problem deserves a major book. The pivotal text is 1 Timothy 2:9–15. The major problem is how men and women relate to each other in teaching and leading the Christian church. And the major book is Women in the Church. There is none more thorough or careful or balanced or biblical.
—John Piper, pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church

If offered by Vyrso, they can probably price match.
If offered by LOGOS, probably not.
If it is not available in either format, they probably cannot get the book into production fast enough to match the publishers price.
It looks like it is a part of this LOGOS collection which has not yet been split up:

The book is in a Logos collection. Just thought I would bring it to their attention.

It is the right thing to do - more often than not one of the VIPs on the forums or a member of the LOGOS staff will find a way to get around whatever limitations I may be seeing. I am glad it works that way - because then thing get done that I might not otherwise expect.

Wouldn't you know it, I was just looking at this exact passage hours ago.
I hope this resource comes up on offer. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Logos sometimes can price match Vysro books (books with no mark ups beyond backs scripture). Logos typically will not Match books since they undergo mark ups to link to various books and are considered worth more for it's in depth integration. It is never a bad thing to ask because occasionally Logos can but it is far a few in between (also Logos has to have been offered the book discount by the publisher which sometimes it has not been offered).

got it for Kindle. at such a price it is not worth my time creating a personal book, nor waiting for LOGOS to break up the collection.
If or when it is available for cheap in Logos, I would probably buy it again.
What I don't understand is why Logos is offering collections (such as Women in the church) that are neither heavily discounted, contain a very big amount of resources interesting to a wide base of customers, nor able to be broken up for purchase as individual volumes.
I don't see VALUE for the customer at $17+ per book in this 7 volume collection. The argument Bob was giving for the base packages cannot be applied here, since this collection is too small to be of interest to a huge group of buyers.

That's easy. It's not directed at large, but at small groups of buyers. I'm not sure whether it's Logos or the publishers who carry this forward, but the rationale for these (and we have a pltethora of them from various publishers) is to milk the early adopters. There will always be users who buy the set because they need/want/like one or two of the books really fast. For those there is enough value in it to buy. Then a cooling-off period of some months, break up the set and sell individual volumes to all others.
The issue of course is that Logos loses sales of all resources in the bundles where potential buyers reluctantly go elsewhere and buy the same book (no issue for the publisher, they might even be glad if people take dead trees off their hands), so they need to balance bundle content and lock-up time.
Have joy in the Lord!

This is the issue and why I brought it to Logos' attention.
