My used copy of the 1st edition arrived, in good condition as promised. I think I figured out why the Blu-ray did not include the colorized segments of "Miniature" as an optional feature. The 1984 colorization would have been created on video, and thus format-locked in SD, so there was no way to present it in HD without it looking noticeably "off." I'd still want it.

My stuff arrived, so I posed it for a group photo: The VHS tapes are from the CBS Video Library. It was a mail order thing in 1988. They have nice liner notes, too. The TZ Blu-ray came in the same Epik-Pak as Star Trek: The Original Series, and once again I had fun trying to get the discs out of that Medieval torture rack without flexing them too much. The trick is to press evenly on the hub with the flat, circular end of a pen cap. Your fingertips aren't hard enough. But even with the right kind of pen, it's tough going. Anyway the discs are out, and they are never going back on those murderous plastic hubs. I've got them all in white CD envelopes, the stack of which fits neatly back in the Epik-Pak with the rack removed. You should store all your discs vertically, btw. Beyond that, I'm very happy with the set.

Author Steven Jay Rubin's book, The Twilight Zone Encyclopedia is listed on Amazon as having been published on November 1, 2017. Any of the resident TZ experts read it yet? www.amzn.com/1613738889 He also did the James Bond Encyclopedia which is really NOT worth getting. Its just an alphabetical index of everyone and everything in the series. No real commentary or insight. Thus, I assume the TZ book will not be of much value ,except to hardcore researchers. imho brm

True, but on the other hand, that's all an encyclopedia is supposed to be--just statement of fact and little or no opinioneering. I know. Just wanted to let buyers know what they are not getting
