Has everyone bid on this yet: https://www.logos.com/product/8511/the-catholic-encyclopedia
We need to get this going!
I'm in at $130. I would think half that price ($60 or $70) would be a very good price for this, and that's probably what it's going to take to get some momentum on this. Would people who are interested in it be willing to up your bids somewhat? Ideally to $60 or $70?

I placed my bid back in 2012 for $70.
I bid $90, when it first came out on CP.

I'm in.
Have you pre-ordered A Catholic Introduction to the Bible: The Old Testament yet?

Since the Catholic Encyclopedia is currently the third highest CP product when sorted by 'bestselling', in fact nearly "everyone" interested in the Encyclopedia and taking part in CP has bid on this. Logos says, I'm in on the going price since summer 2011 (really that long?).
At the current price of $30 it's at roughly thirty percent, so there are three possible scenarios to get it over 100%:
I'm pessimistic that any of the first two will happen in the near future, and since Bob knows about the situation and didn't take the third solution now when the Verbum 6 packges gave the perfect opportunity, this may linger on for some years to come.
But maybe it's time to think outside the box: The Catholic Encyclopedia is available for free on the internet, and arguably a higher quality resource than Wikipedia. While online-only access is not a satisfactory solution for all users, it is a way that Logos 6 goes for many resources that would be too cumbersome to produce (scans of biblical manuscripts, atlas maps, art, presentation backgrounds, Wikipedia).
The code that allows Wikipedia to be shown, researched, marked up... should be easily adaptable to do the same for the online presence of Catholic Encyclopedia (aside: or the Vatican websites for CCC and other stuff that shortsighted copyright distribution takes away from international customers!) - and I'm convinced that solving this with online access code instead of resource creation will get us the resource much faster than even if it was standing at 100% right now.
So, root for a new feature in Verbum 6.1 (early 2015?) rather than a CP to go over and get shipped years later!
Running Logos 9 latest (beta) version on Win 10
It is already available at books.logos.com.
I made a personal book of it. I found a decent file, but I can't remember where (I'm on lunch at work right now). Certainly, there's no inter-resource tagging, but the headword milestones were fairly easy to implement. When compiled as one volume, it's a big mama at 100MB.
EDIT: Aha, I do remember now: ccel.org.

I'm in at $130 also. Been there for a while as well.
I've placed my bid and continue to wait.

Upped bid to $150. Let's get this going folks!! :)

IMO this should have been included in some of the new L6 Verbum base packages, the way they included some of the other long-languishing CP reference works in BPs, namely A Dictionary of Christian Biography, Literature, Sects and Doctrine, the Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics, and the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities

Can you download books from www.ccel.org?
Yes. At least some of them. There is also an excellent post on how to include such books in your Verbum/Logos collections:

Craig: what Steve did was to put a space after the link. That makes it active.

This workaround is required due to a known bug in the forum software. We ought to be able to paste a URL in and click Post and have it turn automatically into a link, but that doesn't work unless you type a space after the URL.

It's looking like the CP bidding options should be redone.
What really needs to happen is this Item should be like gill and placed in verbum 7 packages so it can be made. I think this would offer more value to Catholics than gill offers to Baptists. But I suppose that is all relative.
