Why all the bundling? Request to Logos/Faithlife staff
Humble request to FL to stop with the unnecessary bundling of books and/or to break up bundles
Is it possible to please break up some of the bundles in Logos? Why the bundling in the first place? There are several books I’m interested in but they are tied into bundles and I don’t want to spend $100+ to get the one book I want to read (some examples below). If you are going to go the bundle route, could they be broken up after a period of time so I could buy individual books and journals?
Out of the examples below, I’d love to purchase…
What Does the Bible Really Teach about Homosexuality? by Kevin DeYoung which is found in https://www.logos.com/product/55583/crossway-christian-life-collection
The Second Coming: Signs of Christ’s Return and the End of the Age by John MacArthur found in https://www.logos.com/product/55576/crossway-theology-collection-2
Bibliotheca Sacra 2015 journal articles found in https://www.logos.com/product/54391/master-journal-bundle-21
Mere Christianity found in https://www.logos.com/product/49027/the-cs-lewis-collection
I would love to give Logos more money for these resources but I find it silly I need to spend hundreds to get the one book I want. I know I’m not the typical seminary student user (at least that is what I think the typical user is) so this request may fall on dead ears but I hope Bob or someone from Faithlife sees this and tries to help out the little man. Thank you for listening

Please break up this Spanish bundle: https://www.logos.com/product/51479/coleccion-herramientas-para-el-lider
I would post in the Spanish forum, but they rarely respond. I only need the Jack Cottrell Volume in Spanish. Even with the 40% off discoun is still too expensive and the quality of the other books is not good and does not justify spending that much for them.
Thanks!

I support this, please divide this collection
Dear Faithlife - I would like to request (a) dynamic pricing for the set and (b) making available individual volumes of: "The Select Works of Thomas F Torrance" (21 Volumes) at: https://www.logos.com/product/53796/select-works-of-thomas-f-torrance
It would be great to read several of his books - but avoid buying the whole package at US$324.99 (or in Australian dollars $424.32).
The book I particularly want to read is "The Doctrine of Grace in the Apostolic Fathers" (1986) which I understand was his doctoral thesis, later published. While it is not be my area of interest, I'm sure there are readers who would be interested in Torrance's other works on theology and science. Keep well Paul
How long has it taken them to break collections apart in the past?

Ben,
It's so sad that we can't buy Mere Christianity here for less than US$ 399!
Since some e-bookstores (like Kindle and Olive) already solved the rights problem, would you be kind enough to deal with this one bundle?
https://www.logos.com/product/49027/the-cs-lewis-collection
Thank you very much indeed.

Well, Lucian, even Logos (their product page) is over-whelmingly impressed but charges its customers a lot for ownership:
"In the classic Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis, the most important writer of the 20th century ....." Think of all the lesser 20th century mortals that sell for far less!

Can you offer all of the Old/New Testament Library Series volumes for individual sale? I would like to purchase just the Daniel and Acts volumes since they were written by two of my professors.

I'd love the option of buying Feasting on the Word volume by volume. I won't pay the full price for it (probably won't pay the 40% off it's about to receive) but if I could buy it volume by volume and pay for it as the liturgical season progresses, I would definitely do it.
It would be nice if they had all of the Feasting on the Gospels volumes as well. Right now they only have Matthew.
I checked up on this set today and I noticed that some of the items in the set can be bought unbundled but not all. I'm especially interested in total truth by pearcey. Thx

Ben, is there chance of getting this bundle https://www.logos.com/product/55825/crossway-wayne-grudem-collection broken up in the very near future? I'd much rather purchase "Translating Truth" in Logos than Kindle, but I'd like to start reading it in the next few weeks. Thanks!

Hi Reuben,
Some of the titles in that collection were split out using the tool we built (referenced here https://community.logos.com/forums/t/171015.aspx?PageIndex=2). There were a few that, for various back end reasons, were skipped. We're trying to address these over the next few days. I'll post on here when they're available.
Thanks!

Good Morning Ben
I remember reading another post from you elsewhere that once the break up was complete you were planning on some special sales. Any word on that?

Ben I know this hasn't made production yet but I'd like to see the BTNT volume in this set broken off. You already have 2 in Logos, 1 is in this bundle and there is one that is MIA at the moment (maybe it will come back in the future?)

Hi Kevin,
I split this up. It won't show up as sellable until tomorrow.
Noob here - I love the possibilities of enriching my faith using the tremendous resources available from Verbum/Logos/FaithLife, even if they're not necessarily always available individually. But THIS level of customer service provided by Mr. Amundgaard impresses me so much, I am grateful to him for being involved by checking these forums and listening to customer feedback and implementing actual requests. God Bless you, sir.
I've been looking for Next: Pastoral Succession that works. It's not available on Faithlife eBooks, and is only available on Logos as part of this collection. This book is a widely-recommended book, and I know of several groups of church leaders who are working through it. Would it be possible to break it out and sell it separately from the collection, please? Alternatively, could it be added to Faithlife eBooks? I was seconds away from clicking the "buy" button on Amazon but thought I'd come here and ask first. It's in the top 800 ministry books on Amazon (in the UK at least) although I see it's also in the top 300 Mohammed books so I'm not sure how much credence we can give to those statistics!
Thank you.

Alternatively, could it be added to Faithlife eBooks?
FL does not intend to sell two "editions" of the same book. Since this is already in Logos, your best bet is for it to be broken out of the bundle.
