I would love to have Robert Alter's books on Logos:
* The Art of Biblical Narrative (reads like a guided tour of the Old Testament, highlighting interesting aspects of the storytelling you've never seen before - like getting a museum guide to shine the light on small but highly significant parts of paintings to shed new light on their meaning)
* The Art of Biblical Poetry (does the same for OT poetry)
* The Five Books of Moses, A Translation with Commentary - worth it for the introduction on language and storytelling alone
* The Book of Psalms, A Translation with Commentary
It would be great to have his references to hand when studying any part of the OT on which he comments, as he sheds a fresh new light, from a thorough understanding of the Hebrew, storytelling and poetry writing, literary composition etc.

Everything by Robert Alter is worth having.
I have his translations in hard copy. Some of Alter's work is quite admirable indeed.
I'd love to go digital with Logos

גַּם־חֹשֶׁךְ֮ לֹֽא־יַחְשִׁ֪יךְ מִ֫מֶּ֥ךָ וְ֭לַיְלָה כַּיּ֣וֹם יָאִ֑יר כַּ֝חֲשֵׁיכָ֗ה כָּאוֹרָֽה
I use these resources in Kindle. But would get far more use out of them if they appeared in my Logos library. It would be nice to connect his Biblical translations together as a useable bible and code the commentary as a linked resource! Worth the $$$ I'll gladly pay.
