Wow!!!!😀😀😀😀
PS Be careful as the Free Book of the Month page isn't correctly showing which books you may own.
Agreed. It seems someone went a little nutty with the sales stamp this month
I know I'm an outlier here in several ways (and haven't looked much yet) but what are the high values you're seeing?

i'm not able to "add to cart" from the page. I have to click on the book link and then a) see if I own it and b) add it to cart
Well, I can't even load logos.com because of security issues.
I was wondering if it was just me, or if Logos was "recycling" past sales/free book of the month. I had all but one, the D.A. Carson book.
Hi Everyone,
We had an issue with our free book of the month page showing incorrect ownership. The page has been updated and should be working correctly now.
Thanks for your patience, we hope you enjoy the extra additions to the Free Book of the Month this month!.

Not necessarily recycled titles but possible. Though it maybe that they are simply in libraries or bundles you have previously purchased. For me it is rare as hen’s teeth for free or heavily discounted title to be one I don’t already own. As your library grows you will find that you own more of the FBOM titles as they are offered.
Not bad at all! Lots of cheap practical and academic books 👍
Thanks FL!!
For a short moment, all (?) Zondervan Video Lectures were shown with a significant discount (up to 85%). However, just as I wanted to place an order, the price had reverted to the regular price. [:(]. It looks like this was a short-term error. Or maybe it is a sign of a sale to come.
Black Friday Sale maybe but just as likely an error.
Yes, it looks like it was a hiccup. For instance,
https://www.logos.com/product/185414/introduction-to-biblical-interpretation-video-lectures
is now 26% off, while a few hours ago it was offered with 78% off (see screenshot from the tab that I still had open).
Looks like there are two effbottoms* this month...and both appear to be worth the time. Excellent!
*effbottom = FBOTM = "free book of the month" :-)
Will add to the official dictionary:
LOGOSIAN: Member of a secret conspiracy to find the absolute lowest price for books from a little known company in Bellingham Washington (LKCBW). Elites are characterized by finding workarounds for both software glitches, and web-offers.
VERBUMITES: A separate tribe not to be confused with the Perizites of yesterday's yore. Often found grumbling because their software is missing obvious functionality, or their blogs haven't seen activity in years.
PBs: An underground network of nere-do-well publishers, often associated with the 'restoration' movement that the LKCBW is unaware of.
CPs/PPs: Location of books where the LKCBW places, when they're unlikely to make a profit. Adds to search results too.
PACKAGES/COLLECTIONS: Game tokens in play by Logosians. Activity maximizes every 2 years in the autumn.
EFFBOTTOM: Target of Logosian searches in the early hours of each calendar month (unrelated to lunar calendar searching).

Well done! [:)]
Agreed. These two, both by Victor Hamilton, are especially worth mentioning:
Handbook on the Pentateuch | Logos Bible Software
, recommended in the Denver Seminary bibliography, and John F. Evans recommends it in his Guide to Biblical Commentaries: “A solid content survey, which has often seen used as a textbook.”
Exodus: An Exegetical Commentary | Logos Bible Software
Regarding the above, Evans writes: ”well-researched and makes a serious academic contribution”, “also written in a lively style readers find engaging”, “the strength of the work is his patient, verse-by-verse approach.”
Also, Bill T. Arnold’s NCBC Commentary is recommended by Denver Seminary. This is by the same author:
Encountering the Book of Genesis: A Study of Its Content and Issues | Logos Bible Software
Says Evans: the NCBC “builds on his upper-level college textbook, Encountering the Book of Genesis (1998)” and “the Encountering book is a most inviting survey, with its well-written, well-researched text, accompanied by teaching material (stated aims, study questions, etc.), many pictures and maps, brief discussion of authorship and scholarly methods of interpretation. Encountering would be useful to the pastor in planning an adult Sunday School class.”
So: Good and cheap books!

Thanks for those references. Keith Mathison also recommends the works by Victor Hamilton on Exodus and Genesis, which encouraged me to buy the Exodus commentary and the handbook on the Pentateuch.
I'm currently debating the value on single volume commentary on the NT by Robert Gundry.

This is on sale now for the 31.99
It's a decent price but Logos' list prices are totally out of line with the DVDs.
I've never taken notice of Logos List prices, its what's price they are will to sell it to me today that what counts. List prices are driven by 'Supplier's'' who wish to give their product the appearance of where they want the consumer to picture their product sitting in a 'good', 'better', 'best' hierarchy. In an exploding market on 'Bible Teaching Lectures' Z wants consumers to see their product as being 'Premium' and so will tell re-sellers this is where you should pitch the price. But re-sellers often use this list price to present to their customers they are offering a 'premium product' at a great discount. So its a cat and mouse game between suppliers, re-sellers and consumers as to the real market value - what the consumer is willing to pay against what they re-seller would like to sell a product to make a healthy margin to for the good of their business v the price suppliers suggest re-sellers use in order to pitch the quality of their product to consumers.
