New Frontier Collections?

[Smiley]

I was using the version that was current when Stone and Anvil first came out. I don't know if it's the same one that is recommended with the NF PDFs or not. In any case, I've got the physical books now, so I don't need to fight the software any longer on this issue.

He's talking about the eBooks on the Stone and Anvil CD, not copies of the original, physical book.

Oh, ok. I missed where it said "in the coversion process".

Better off buying The copy of Stone and Anvil that comes with the ebooks in PDF format or just purchasing the ebooks from Simonsays.com for less.

If you do look for Stone and Anvil, keep in mind that only the first printing of the hardcover has the CD--and there was more than one printing.

Has there been any talk of doing some New Frontier collections, similar to the DS9 relaunch collections?

I'm sure it'll come. We used to regularly ask for an issue #0 compilation, too, and PAD was interested: an omnibus of all three volumes of the Worf "Starfleet Academy" YA novels, which feature K'Ehleyr and pre-NF young Kebron, Tobius, McHenry and Soleta. Perhaps revised to make brother Simon Rozhenko into the canonical Nikolai.

I would love to have an omnibus of the three Starfleet Academy books because I've never had the opportunity to read them.

i I remember, i got a CD with stone and anvil (HB) that had most of the previous books on there, failing that check Ebay

I had forggoten about this, but now that I think about it, I looked for that book in hard back when it came out and couldn't find a copy with the CD in it -- was it not available in Canada, anyone know?

As far as I know, all North America gets the same US-printed books. However, it was only the first printing that had the CD-ROM.

I bought mine w/CD-ROM in Sydney, Australia... but only a few weeks later bookshops were receiving the second printing - because S&A sold very well.

I'm pretty sure you could find them cheep on Ebay. You should deffinitely read them if you get the chance, because IIRC they were really good. TBH I don't think I've read them in about 10 years so my opinion could have changed in that time, but I doubt it very much.

I'm in Canada, and I got the CD ROM. JADP.
