Only problem: That's a decision from Eerdmans not Faithlife, but you can write Eerdmans a mail

D'oh. Solution: Sell the whole set - rebuy current set.

Best solution: Sell your entire Logos library and re-buy all your books in paperback. I'm sure CBD misses your business!
ah CBD...its been so longs since I even got flyer from them...

I remember when they used to sell Libronix software.

Really? I still get catalogs monthly, and I haven't bought from them in 10 years(?). Sometimes I get two at a time.

They're somewhat consistently cheaper than Amazon, but I find the tagging of paperbacks pretty poor.

Everett Headley: I'd like to know what the return value would be before making a decision. Academically, it's dead to me. Pastoral lyrics there's probably still value. However there are other books I'd value more in Logos.

I agree with this as well.
Quick update (sorry to be brief but I'm out of the office):
We will be working with Eerdmans to offer credits for those who want to return them. If you want to keep them you can--we will not take them away from you.
There are a few details we need to work out on our end to figure out the credits (e.g. dynamic pricing considerations).
When I get back in the office I'll work on getting something put together and post here with our plan.
Thanks!

Interesting take on this issue from Stanley E. Porter:

Thanks Paul for posting the link to the Porter article.

a superb analysis of the situation. Thank you for the link.
Sean:At most I'd perhaps like a note on the resource information panel that the publisher had later withdrawn the book.
Ben, any comment on whether this might be an option? Maybe even in a different font color so it stands out?

Indeed!

I'm not sure how they are still in business. Perhaps a large part of their income now comes from selling Christian homeschool material. Which, by the way, I believe Faithlife/Lexham/Vryso should try their luck at.
As for the topic at hand, I've decided to keep my commentaries, but still wish they would refund "partial" credit back to those who bought them and want to keep them. This needs to be the third option. I don't mind paying for the books, but the price I originally paid was based on the original academic value this resource was suppose to provide. Since this academic value has decreased, so should the original price paid.
Josh:Since this academic value has decreased, so should the original price paid.
As Stanley Porter pointed out in the linked article, O'Brien merely did what almost every other commentary writer does. He just got called out for what is —to all intents and purposes—normal practice. If the academic value of his commentaries is decreased, then honesty would require that the academic value of 95% of all other commentaries should also be decreased.

Okay, I stayed out of this but . . . The concept of an author owning their work is quite new - think 4 centuries or so ... So much of Porter's argument is anachronistic. Even so, ancient authors often specify their sources, when the resources to do so were available ... think of the authors we know only from the quotes in other authors or the the catenas ...
As for the self-evident point that current commentaries draw on the knowledge of previous commentaries without always giving credit, remember the rule of thumb for when information is "common knowledge" and therefore no longer requires attribution: "Generally speaking, you can regard something as common knowledge if you find the same information undocumented in at least five credible sources. Additionally, it might be common knowledge if you think the information you're presenting is something your readers will already know, or something that a person could easily find in general reference sources."
There are more subtle forms of plagarism beyond n consecutive words copied: see http://usingsources.fas.harvard.edu/what-constitutes-plagiarism
I fully accept the explanation that work flow created the problem ... it is very easy to develop such work flows with the ease of web access and copy & paste. But any undergraduate should have the rules in their head by the end of their first year. And sloppy work habits may well be indicative of sloppy thinking habits. So sorry, I have no sympathy for an author who got caught for multiple publications having refractions.
