Please add an Amazon link
It would save many clicks of the mouse as the Vyrso pages are rather anemic when it comes to information as basic as the date of publication.
But, more frustrating is the look inside feature. I am not sure if it is a rights issue or not, but at least for me, it is a little hard to see if a book is worth purchasing if there is no ToC to preview. It seems that nearly every book I look at goes from title/credits page and skips the ToC.

Why would Logos add links to Amazon? [^o)]

I would like to see at least the number of pages listed on Vyrso for each book, but I don't think there will ever be a link to a competitor. No one does that. My understanding is that a lot of Vyrso items are just automated based on what the publisher provides, which is why so much info is missing.

Sorry, a little bit of my too dry humor.
All I am saying is that 90% of the time I have to go to Amazon to get any real info about a Vyrso book: ToC, pages, publish date, etc. Why not make it easier and just provide a link if Vyrso is not going to provide the info. A tongue-in-cheek way of saying that there should be more information to the point it should be embarrassing to Vyso that there is so little relevant (IMO) info on a book page.

Gotcha. You probably won't see much improvement in this area as Vyrso is more of a "hobby" for FL.
Personally, I go to Amazon as well, but for the reviews.

Ditto. I too go to Amazon for the info. Did not catch the humor the first time, but I see it now. [:)]

I don't share your experience (and I admit to regularly going over to that other large book retailer to peruse their look-into feature and the reviews), but anyway: the Vyrso look-inside has a special feature for the ToC to preview:
To show you, I randomly picked https://vyrso.com/product/26867/30-words-a-devotional-for-the-rest-of-us (where the ToC is visible by scrolling through the preview).
Look-inside will look like this - mark the button I highlighted which is styled to resemble the jagged look of a ToC:
clicking it will bring this page (the x closes the ToC-view and gets you back):
Hope this helps a bit.

I didn't know that... or I had forgotten. That is an awful icon choice... it is essentially a "left justified" icon. A simple TOC would be much better.

Interesting discussion - people use to go to the big box stores to peruse a product before purchasing on Amazon. Now we go to Amazon to shop before purchasing on LOGOS. [:)]

So does Amazon add the pertinent information to each entry themselves, and Vyrso doesn't have the manpower to do that?

Hi everyone, sorry for the late response! We are looking into putting the publication dates on all of the product pages.
For all of our future Vyrso titles, we are looking into adding the "see inside" feature. This feature is provided on some of the Vyrso titles, so we really appreciate you bringing this to our attention, why only some have this feature and not all the titles.
If there are any other features you would like to see, please provide a list, and I'll see what our team can do.
Thanks!0 -

That is great! Thanks for pointing that out. Though, now I wonder; why go to the trouble and then purposely leave it out of the other?
Oh, well. Thanks for that!

Thanks Carley. That's all good to hear.

At this time I don't know if we can add the "see inside" feature to the existing books on Vyrso. If we can, we definitely will! Once we figure out the logistics I can provide an update.
