Does anybody have these? Are they good quality? Are there any plans for further volumes?

I've got both of these. I haven't spent a lot of time going through them, but plan on doing so one day.

The scans are very well done - I went through all of them before they went to print, and also reworked the index to ensure that it is accurate (I'm sure something slipped through the net, it usually does).

As of when I left Titan at the end of last year, there were no firm plans for future volumes - despite regular pleas from people on here, and other boards, for the material to become available, the take-up was nowhere near what I had expected. I'm sure though that if loads of people buy them, they'll look into doing the other volumes. We certainly avoided using material from those issues in reprints because we felt it was unfair if people were being asked to buy the key interviews again on CD-ROM.

Thanks Paul! For my part, I purchased both today.

 

[DS9forever]

Does anyone know a typical delivery time? I thought a week myself.

 

[DS9forever]

Still no sign after nearly 2 weeks. I wish these had been available on Amazon UK...

I have both, they're pretty good. Easier and cheaper than buying all of them in physical format, lol. That said it's clear all they did was bust the binding and scan each physical copy on a flat-bed.

Sorry to resurrect this after this length of time, but I thought this needed addressing:

It might be a silly question, but how else would you do it for material that was, in some cases, produced nearly 20 years ago? The software that the issues were produced using doesn't exist - and no company would hold onto it just in case they *might* need to reprint. Many of the original articles are held by the editors, which is how I was able to reprint some of the interview material in the retrospective issues, but fonts, pictures etc change over time.
