The last A-B News CD covered the years 2007 and 2008, whilst the Book Collection CD covered the period 1980-1981.
A recent comment on AB-IX mentioned the fact that we there is a 10 year period barrier, for want of a better description, between original publication and CD re-publication, is this true ?
Are there anymore Book Collection CDs in the pipeline and if so, when can we expect them to be made available ?
Regards
David

I am disappointed to note there appears to have been no response from the management to this very reasonable question...

Sorry for having missed the original question. I must have been away travelling (oh, no wait...)
There is no strict 10-year rule, but it was found that while the original CDs covering magazines and books from the early years of Air-Britain sold well, the demand for the later issues was much less and it became less commercially viable to produce them. We are looking at other ways in which certain elements can be shared.

Thanks Steve - it wasn't my original (2018!) query but it did rather stand out when I looked at our CDs after the latest BARG announcement.
All the best,
Pete

Do we actually have any books in store which are older than let's say from the year 2000?
If we don't, is there anything in particular which stop us from putting our publication to appx that year on CD?
I probably have all of what I want, but there are probably members who don't....
Cheers

As stated in my previous response, there has to be a commercially viable case to produce the CDs. When we carried out the last full stock take at the warehouse, we did not count the stock of CDs due to the large volume still sitting on the shelves. To produce smaller quantities means an increase in price, which leads to being less attractive to purchasers.
