Has anyone seen Scrivener?
Let's get this out of the way - title is a bad joke referencing a prior thread.

As you might guess by now, I am doing some work with the Textus Receptus and coming up short on a few Logos resources. Today I was looking at "The New Testament in Greek (Scrivener 1881)" with support info:

SCRMORPH.logos4
The preface says: "All variations from Beza’s text of 1598, in number about 190, are set down in an appendix at the end of the volume, together with the authorities on which they repsectively rest."
Yes, there is a word misspelled in that sentence, and I have already reported it to Faithlife. The bigger concern (and reason for this post) is that said appendix is not included in the resource! I know there have been cases where Faithlife has intentionally omitted Scripture or other indexes from books on the theory that users can just search for key words or specific passage references, but that is not the case here. Logos is missing several resources that I would consider vital to textual criticism, and I would just like to highlight this missing appendix as an additional item in need of attention. Thanks!

There have been more than one instance in which FL has not included very useful appendices to Greek texts.

I just got done reviewing the product page, and unless I missing it, there is not even any recognition that Faithlife is only selling part of a book.

It appears that there are three versions of this book on Logos, the other two being here

And here

I don't know why this last one is listed as "2.0," especially since it is the least expensive, but it is the only one out of the threr I don't own. Can anyone who owns it tell me whether it has the appendix or whether it also is only part of a book masquerading as a full book? Incidentally, the version that is the first link in this post is missing both the preface AND the appendix!

Never mind. The 2.0 version referenced above is free on mobile devices as long as you are connected to the Internet. It cannot be downloaded without purchasing it, but I was able to at least look at it and see that it is also missing both the preface and appendix.
