Hi,
I'd like to suggest William R. Scott's A Simplified Guide to BHS for inclusion in the Logos resources.

Were you aware that Logos has Kelley's The Masorah of Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia: Introduction and Annotated Glossary? If you are familiar with it, how would you compare the two?
Yes. I bought the Logos version of the Masorah by Kelley as a pre-pub and I have both works in my print library. The Simplified Guide to BHS is a very small work and is something that I'd like to have in electronic format so that I can cut and paste snippets of into my prepared studies and use to hook new Hebrew students. It includes cursory excursions into the critical apparatus, accents, unusual letters in the Massorah like the inverted nun and majesculars. The Masorah by Kelley is a whole different cat - it actually scrapes the surface of the Masorah in the BHS while referencing Weil's work on the Massorah for BHS and also giving due credit and reference to Ginsburg's collation of the Massorah and pointing out what Kelley deems to be problematic references in Ginsburg's work. These are completely different works. The simplified guide is like a Primer. Kelley's work has a lot more meat. Neither compare in any way, shape, or form to Ginsburg's work.
I'd personally like to see more people study the Hebrew of the Old Testament and the Simplified Guide for BHS may be an inexpensive work that people might pony up for vs. going for Kelley's work right out the gate.
And in mentioning Weil's work, I see that Logos has that already in pre-pub. I've already signed up for it.

Yes, I've subscribed to that as well.
I would like to second this suggestion Mike. I'm one of those folks whois trying to learn Hebrew for the first time. This book is required forHebrew 2 (second semester hebrew) at the Charlotte NC campus ofGordon-Conwell. Just in case you care; our required Hebrew text book isThe First Hebrew Primer: The Adult Beginner's Path to Biblical Hebrew,Third Edition. It is available via Logos and I've enjoyed using theelectronic version.
