Our Logos—Facebook Photo Contest—especially the picture of Ryan all decked out—got people asking about Logos gear and how they can get some for themselves. You may never have seen it before, but we actually have a product category on Logos.com called Logos Merchandise that will show you all of the items that we currently have available.

Right now we have five items in stock:

• Logos Water Bottle—Blue Polycarbonate/Stainless Steel (pictured to the right)
• Logos Stainless Steel Mug
• Logos T-Shirt: Binary Logo
• Logos Clear Glass Mug
• Logos Insulated Travel Mug

And for a little bit longer, each item is on sale for only $1! But you need to act fast. We mentioned this special in our last Newswire, so our stock is going quickly.

To give everyone else a chance to get in on this special deal, please limit your orders to a quantity of one per item. You may order all five items, but just not more than one of each.

The discount is good through this Sunday, March 8, when you use coupon code LOGOSGEAR.

By the way, this is a good opportunity to remind you to make sure you’re subscribed to the Newswire email list. We regularly mention cool deals there, and many don’t make it to the blog. So be sure to sign up.

We typically sell books in collections because it gives us the ability to make more books available more quickly—and offer better pricing per volume. Many of you love buying in bulk, but some of you prefer to buy your books one at a time, even if it means paying a little bit more per book.

For those of you in the latter category, we have three top biblical dictionaries now available for individual download—and at 50% off through the end of the month.

Use coupon code IVPNTDICTIONARY to save 50% on these two dictionaries from IVP:

• Dictionary of New Testament Background
• Dictionary of the Later New Testament and Its Developments

Use coupon code EDBT to save 50% on this dictionary from Baker:

• Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology

Last year was the first time I ever went shopping on Black Friday... it was also likely my last.

Now, I understand that for some people, Black Friday is a tradition. Sure, there are some really good deals out there, but for me, I'd much rather just hop online, price compare in my PJs, and have my products delivered to my door. But, if you're into getting up at 3:30 in the morning to catch a deal, that's fine with me. I'll be sleeping.

For those of you scouring the internet today for deals, I thought I'd take the opportunity to remind you of a couple specials we have going on here at Logos.com.

Free Logos for Mac Engine for crossgrade when you spend $250.

And don't forget all the great deals on pre-pub!

This doesn't have much to do with Logos Bible Software, but it's too good of a deal not to pass on to you.

Microsoft is again offering Office Ultimate 2007 for only $59.95! It retails at $679.95, so this is a savings of more than 91%.

Ultimate includes these 10 programs:

• Word 2007
• Excel 2007
• PowerPoint 2007
• Outlook 2007
• OneNote 2007
• Groove 2007
• Publisher 2007
• Access 2007
• InfoPath 2007
• Accounting Express 2008

That's only $6 per program!

There are two stipulations for qualifying:

1. You must have a .edu email address.
2. "You must be a student at a U.S. educational institution and must be actively enrolled in at least 0.5 course credit and be able to provide proof of enrollment upon request."

While there are a couple of good Office competitors out there, Office is still the standard and it integrates best with Logos (e.g., Bible reading schedules in Outlook, search results in Excel, and copying and pasting text with auto-citations into Word).

If you're a student and don't have Office, you should definitely give this a look.

Looks like starting September 8 you can also grab the upgrade to Vista Ultimate SP1 for only $64.95 (retails at $239.99).

Everyone loves to get a good deal. And two Logos users just recently got an amazing deal: $17.95 for the entire Sheffield/T & T Clark Bible Guides Collection (44 volumes). That's just over $.40 per volume and almost 99% off the retail price! We posted this Pre-Pub last week with the wrong price. A $17.95 price tag is about what one of these individual volumes would have. Oops! We quickly corrected it to $279.95, but in that short time that it was up at the wrong price—only a few minutes—two people jumped on it and locked in the ridiculously low $17.95.

Most online sellers wouldn't honor a price mistake like this. I've purchased what I thought were really good deals from Amazon and Dell only to be notified that my order had been canceled because the item had been improperly priced. But in this situation we've decided to honor the price and reward these two individuals for placing their Pre-Pub orders early.

It's not often that we post something at the wrong price, but this situation gives me a perfect opportunity to emphasize an important point about our Pre-Pub program: it pays to pre-order early—literally.

The initial Pre-Pub price is almost* always the lowest Pre-Pub price you'll see. Sometimes that price stays the same until it ships, at which time it jumps up to our normal sale price. But often the Pre-Pub price will increase for a number of reasons, and those who order earliest get the best deal.

Sometimes we run a special promotion to offer you an extra discounted price like we're doing with the Works of John Owen (17 volumes). For another week and a half, the Pre-Pub price is only $174.95. Then it will jump up to $224.95.

Another reason to place your pre-order early is that we may add additional material to a set after we've already put it up on Pre-Pub, as was the case with Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures (63 volumes). A user pointed out that our set didn't include the hard-to-obtain volume on the Apocrypha. We tracked it down and added it to the set, increasing our production cost. The Pre-Pub price eventually went up, but everyone who had already pre-ordered it essentially got the additional volume for free.

It's also possible that our publisher relations department could negotiate permission to do a newer, more expensive edition after a collection is already on Pre-Pub. This is exactly what happened with Barth's Church Dogmatics. We had initially obtained permission to publish the current edition of CD, but we ended up getting permission to do the new, forthcoming edition that won't be available in print for several more months.

The bottom line is that it is in your best interest to place your pre-order sooner rather than later. The most efficient way to do that is to subscribe to our Pre-Pub RSS feed.

* In the rare event that a Pre-Pub price goes down, we notify the customers so they can order it at the lower price. No one is ever punished for pre-ordering early.
