Whilst I love Pratico's grammar and workbook, the Logos version needs extensive corrections. Nearly every instance where an ע is expected you get a צ. For example, שׁמע is printed as שׁמצ. I am a little puzzled how Logos could release a work with such extensive errors throughout. I assume this particular error is due to the OCR software not being able to make the distinction. But surely the QA processes should have picked this up. I feel pretty embarrassed having suggested this option to my students over the print edition!
