It's amazing how the junk can immediately get published while I have gobs of pre-orders for The Works of Richard Sibbes, The Works of Thomas Manton, The Works of Thomas Goodwin, etc., etc., etc., that are simply waiting for more participants until they go into production. *sigh*

To be fair to Logos, this shows you in spades what the overall community wants.

Folks, we need a revival.
To be fair, people read more deeply in their own tradition than in others. Now, I don't think the works of Doug Wilson or Driscoll's sermons really have any business on "study" software like Logos, but I can understand why they aren't into publishing every obscure Reformed author. There are probably lots of decent 16th-18th century authors I'll never get around to, because I believe I need to be conversant with a number of traditions rather than a specialist in one. Logos isn't designed for period specialists, but for general audiences. Even Reformed people (a minority) are only going to read so many Reformed authors.
