While the library available in Logos is extensive, you can also add print books that you own to your Logos library for searches by either scanning their ISBN or by searching for the book in the Logos catalog. After being added to your library, your print books are included in Logos search results and in certain Factbook sections. The search results for printed books guide you to the page number to read in your physical book.
