- The books in this series are wonderful, and this one is no exception. However, the Logos edition has a few (unacceptable) typos which are not in the print edition. For example: 1. Amman Citadel Inscription, p. 202, line 5. Print edition reads 'bṭn kbh tkbh'. Logos edition reads 'ṭ tkbh' (omitting five letters!). 2. Lachish Ostracon 3, p. 214, reverse line 5. Print edition (correctly) reads 'šlḥh'. Logos edition reads 'šlhḥh'. 3. There are numerous spacing issues, where two words appear as one word, or vice versa. For example, in the Egyptian Report of Wemanon, p. 220, the print edition reads 'r ḏd' (two words, meaning 'saying') whereas Logos reads 'rḏd' (one word). This occurs five different times for this one series of words alone. See also e.g. Logos 'fḏd' written for printed 'f ḏd', etc. I haven't even gone through the Akkadian material yet, but probably will not use Logos to do so. Therefore, my five-star review is for the book itself, not for the Logos edition.
- I have reported this issue to our team for further investigation. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
