Here are some Bible Commentaries that I'd like to suggest Logos adds to their library. I have not had personal experience using them, but the description of the series interests me, and so I'd like to see them added:
Abingdon Old Testament Commentary Series and Abingdon New Testament Commentary Series (Link to the Publisher).
ArtScroll (Publisher link)
Berit Olam (Publisher link)
Concordia Commentary: 2 Peter and Jude (Publisher link)
Concordia Commentary: Ecclesiastes (Publisher link)
Concordia Commentary: Ezra and Nehemiah
Concordia Commentary: Isaiah 40-55
Concordia Commentary: Matthew 11:2-20:34
Historical Commentary on the Old Testament (Publisher link)
Mentor Old Testament Commentary: Psalms Volumes 1 and 2
New American Commentary Studies in Bible & Theology
New International Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament (Unfortunately, I cannot find it on the publisher's website).
New Testament Library (Publisher link)
Old Testament Library (Publisher link)
Paideia: Commentaries on the New Testament: 1 Corinthians
Paideia: Commentaries on the New Testament: 1 and 2 Peter (Coming August 2012)
Padeia: Commentaries on the New Testament: James and Jude (Coming November 2012)
Sacra Pagina (Publisher link)
Septuagint Commentary (Publisher link)
Smyth & Helwys Commentary (Publisher Link)
The Soncino Books of the Bible (Publisher link)
Two Horizons Old Testament Commentary: Ecclesiastes
Zondervan Exegetical Commentary: 1 and 2 Thessalonians (Release date: 11/05/2012)
According to Amazon.com, this book will release on November 6 and be available for USD18 - Logos should be able to match date and price, at least with a PrePub
The release date I provided came from Zondervan.com
No issue, my post rather was for clarification of the date (I first misread your date as May) and a reaction to my puzzlement over the price reduction that is offered at Amazon - but I was interrupted in editing it. So my "Logos should be able" wasn't meant to mean "past experience tells this is often the case" but rather "I hope they'll try to, they have enough time and incentive for it".
I know they're working on getting this.

[Y], but not at that price.
I am hoping to get a few Masters and a Doctorate or two. Then, I think it would be awesome to do my own commentaries on the Septuagint (including Apocrypha), Pseudepigrapha, and both Testaments.....and RE-do the Septuagint series with a bunch of scholars. That would be sweet!
Update: Paideia: Commentaries on the New Testament: 1 and 2 Peter is NOW available.

I would encourage you to not be too ambitious. My wife used to refer to me as a "professional student" when I was only proceding from my baccalaureate degree in college to a second baccaulareate in theology and then a PhD in OT. It is a time-consuming and demanding process. Concentrate on one area and become proficient in that. The days are gone when one person could write meaningfully regarding the entire compass of scripture. To seek to "bite off more than you can chew" would result in your accomplishing little and perhaps becomming discouraged.
My hope is to start publishing after I earn a Masters. At ORU, there are 3 Masters degrees that I want that have a bunch of overlapping required classes, so I could start one and add a second one later on. If I do summer classes as well I could POTENTIALLY get those three (doing only two Thesis papers) in 3 years. I don't want to get degrees on EVERY book of the Bible, but enough on the languages of the Bible (and surrounding Israel) and enough background degrees (for example, on Second Temple Judaism, Rabbinic Judaism), while everything else (such as Greek and Roman culture), I would just read books on those things as part of my studies. I may not be the expert on that part of the world, but I would use books from those experts. I would like to combine studies from other Scholars, but then present my view on Scripture based on what I have learned from the whole, not just one or two or so books of the Bible. I don't want to study everything, but I want enough (but not too many) degrees so that Scholars will actually read what I write (instead of ignore them), but I also want to write those works in such a way that the rest of the Church would be willing to read the books on their own and be able to understand what I am writing.

That's another point. A master's degree is rather widely considered to be a terminal degree. If you intend to get a doctorate, go for the doctorate and forget the master's. At some schools they may confer the master's together with the PhD if you say "pretty please."

The first point of importance is to be certain that you have something worth saying.

I know that this would not happen where I went to school. Heck, I could not use the same paper that I wrote for two different classes (self plagiarism had the same results as plagiarism).
