While the library available in Logos is extensive, you can add print books to your Logos library by either scanning their ISBN or by searching for the book in the Logos Catalog (www.logos.com). After being added to your library, the print books are included in Logos search results. The search results for printed books guide you to the page number in your physical book.
Note: Available in packages Gold and above.
