DWB produced two tradepaper books based on its first 100 issues. The DWB COMPENDIUM lists contents of first 100 issues on pp. 131-2. It reprinted three B7 related articles. On pp. 119-123 is the B7 Ratings Guide (69) and the B7 Merchandise Guide, updated & revised (*76). B7 is mentioned in Telefantasy Archives (93) , pp. 124-6, as are Star Maidens, Children of the Stones (both GT shows), and Survivors (created by Terry Nation). Not a worthwhile buy for the B7 fan. *It mislabels this as 66.
The DWB INTERVIEW FILE reprinted interviews which are revised and updated. The four B7 ones are Gareth Thomas (73), Michael Keating (97), Jacqueline Pearce (81), and Paul Darrow (85), pp.162-173. The DWB INTERVIEW FILE uses a rare Thomas photo from SUTHERLAND'S LAW "The Sea". I didn't compare all four interviews, but Thomas's is very changed from 73. Recommended.
In the DWB INTERVIEW FILE is, also, Ian Scoones, pp. 92-3, who was interviewed in 4 DWB's and talked about B7 in two of them--94 & 95. Be warned he doesn't like Gareth Thomas.
These issues listed have B7. Please note most don't even have one full page of B7. 108 is a definite winner as it's a B7 special. Also recommended are 66, 73, 76, 81, 85, 97, 101, and 125.

| 101 | (5/92--Brian Croucher--I do not own this one nor the 6 other ones leading up to 107 I'm guessing that 101-106 continue doing video reviews of two episodes per issue in order.) |
| 102-6 | (It seems likely each contains B7 video reviews because they have been doing them in order.) |
