On 9 December 2022, we're moving the books from books.logos.com into the www.logos.com store.
We launched this site in 2014, allowing Logos 6 users to search inside facsimile copies of some public domain books and optionally add them to their Logos libraries. The goal of this site was to provide early access to resources that had not yet been made into full Logos resources. Now, after many years, we have created full digital versions of some of these resources, and we’re moving any remaining facsimile editions to www.logos.com to make it easier for you to find them and benefit from them.
Nothing will change with any facsimile editions you’ve already added to your Logos library. You’ll continue to have access to them in precisely the same way you do now. But you won’t be able to add new editions to your library.
If you want to acquire the facsimile editions that were hosted at books.logos.com, we will be making them available for purchase in our store for $0.99 each. These facsimile editions have no links or tagging. The text has been OCRd so that you can search inside them, but any OCR errors have not been corrected. They look like this:
I'll update this thread when these facsimile editions become available at www.logos.com.

Will a filter for them be implemented at the same time?

MJ. Smith: Will a filter for them be implemented at the same time?
We're still figuring that out, but hopefully, yes.
A filter facet will be needed otherwise, for example, if someone is searching for books with "Price from Low to High", they will be flooded with these facsimile "books".

Excellent point!

While they're doing that, I would love to see them also add a filter that would let you limit the results to resources that can be purchased individually (i.e., exclude ones that can only be purchased as part of a larger package).
Status update?

Can you confirm this yet?

Thanks to Faithlife for making these available for free as long as you did. Much appreciated for the facsimiles I added to my library during that time.
I now have acquired every Faithlife e-book classics and so there are none left for me to pick up with my monthly perks coupon each month. To keep the program having benefit to users in my position, surely with the addition of WS catalogue and the classic commentaries and studies that sit outside the program, there is more that you could add but if you don't intend to soon, you could incorporate these titles from books.logos.com into the program. As you intend to sell these for 0.99 each, the cost will be limited and gives us something to choose from, even if they are only facsimile editions. Of course there will be those who won't be satisfied but that is the case no matter what you do.
Have these facsimiles been moved yet? If so, how do I search for them?
Too bad, I didn't even know I could add them to my Logos library, so I missed it lol

I think you needed L6 Silver or Gold to do that. I was never able to add those books.

I believe you needed an active Faithlife connect subscription to be able to add them.
Daniel Yoder: Have these facsimiles been moved yet? If so, how do I search for them?
We're still working on adding them to logos.com. When we do so, we want to make sure they don't overwhelm the search results, and people are very clear they know the limitations of these books - so we're taking our time to get it right.
Thanks for the response, Mark.
Mark Barnes (Faithlife):we're taking our time to get it right.
Thank you. I hope you will/are beta test/ing this with actual customers before it rolls out to everybody.
Simon’s Brother:I now have acquired every Faithlife e-book classics
Wow.
I strongly supported community pricing before this program started so had a significant number of these books before this particular program began. I have seen others on these forums in the past raise the same issue of having owned all the classic ebooks available at that point in time and Faithlife expanded the offering so that such users were able to continue to benefit from the program.

I was surprised because I have thousands of product listings left unacquired. I do remember when they significantly increased the list of available volumes.
Where exactly can I search and find these books now? ❤️
