Vote for those you want to see in the March Madness Sale.

It is not necessary to vote for 64, just your favourites you hope to buy. [;)]

Kinda be cool to see a battle of sermon collections. Many of the names are there. But then I'm probably not gonna make the madness this time around. Spent too much on upgrades. Have to pay that down so I can get some big prepubs that are coming way too soon...

I voted, but I was disappointed that there appears to be only one female author (June Hunt).

When you put a name in the "other" box and hit return to take a new line and to add another name, it submits your form first.

So may-be add the "other" names with a comma - i.e. Stanley Hauerwas, John Howard Yoder, etc.[:D]

A flaw is that you can vote multiple times. We've seen people in the past who are desperate enough to try and manipulate the system. [:(]

Considering that almost everyone of these names have been placed in March Madness before AND considering that more than a few of us have already purchased multiple volumes from these same authors, I will probably not participate in March Madness this year.

Hey Bill,

Please use the other box and let us know what other authors you would like to see. Again, these authors were pulled based on the fact that they are searched for most on our site. Depending on the author's suggested in the other box and whether or not we can discount them, we would be willing to add other authors in the mix if the votes for them outweigh others.

I've cast my votes but the chances of different authors winning this year is slim.

Mike Childs

I wrote in George Ladd. Would love to get his Revelation commentary which is part of the Ladd Collection.

I added a few in 'others' (not sure if multiple choices were allowable though) including:

Lynn H. Cohick, Miroslav Volf, Elizabeth A. Clark, Richard B. Hays, Phyllis Tickle, Elizabeth Achtemeier, Rowan Williams, Stanley Hauerwas, Scott Hahn, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Irenaeus and Gregory of Nyssa.

Frankly, I wish Logos had asked us who we DIDN'T WANT to see in the March Madness sale. My answer: D. A. Carson and all of the usual suspects.

I think that this becomes a self-perpetuating issue. Faithlife assumes that those authors which are most frequently searched are the ones that people wish to buy. But having been frequently searched, many users will already have bought books by those authors, and now be interested in other things. Running most frequent searches means that those who are already well known are displayed again which reduces the likelihood of minority voices (eg. women and non-white authors) being showcased. Also, it becomes more difficult to use March Madness to attract new customers because one is only showcasing authors that are desired by existing customers rather than customers with more diverse interests who have never previously searched the site.

good point. no sense in adding votes to those you could care less about that might bump the one's you do off!

on a related note: may I UNvote some names, pretty please? [6]

Don't despair. Many of the names on your list do not have books in Logos, yet. If they won a spot there would be no books to buy.

*despairs*

I am quite tempted to enter the names of the authors into the search text box lots of times just so that Logos thinks they're popular and starts adding them to the March Madness system They have a marked preference for anybody named John

You're right that about 5 of my desired authors are missing, though...

okay, I decided to take some time (that I didn't with Rayner's, unfortunately) to "rah rah" the ones above that I know and would be interested in (and assume the others would be good, too, since this is a great list!) Volf, Hays, Tickle, Achtemeier, Williams, Hauerwas, Hahn, Ursy-baby, Irenaeus, and Greg.

Great suggestions!

LOL! But I am guessing these are also one's that will drive many rank-and-file users to buy during LMM. I can't blame Logos for that.

Not sure how to add a thumbs up, but I second Marva Dawn. I'm going to go and search for her too ;-)

Not that it will happen, but winners/finalists should have to sit out the next year (at least!) so that we get a chance of having some new winners occasionally.
