I don’t think they have an X-Files book. They started this series in April 2003, with “Taking the Red Pill: Science, Philosophy and Religion in The Matrix”.

All of the books currently in the series are along the left side of their website, smartpopbooks.com

I had never heard of the books until now, but I would definitely buy a Babylon 5 SmartPop book. Do they have an X-Files book? I’d buy one of those, too.

I just realised that I hadn’t responded to this yet while listening to the final version of episode 41. I would definitely buy a B5 book if they made one.

You know, when this book comes to pass, and I’m holding the book in my hands, talking to someone about the varied opinions in it, I’m going to be SO hard-pressed to not be a smartass and say, “Put your face in the book”.

The coolest part about this is that I didn’t realize until after the BSG book came out that my essay was one of the ones spotlighted on the back cover… which, to me, meant they liked my essay, and maybe would listen a little bit if I gave them enough data to show that a B5 collection would be appreciated by the fanbase.

So if you have friends who are B5 fans, ask them if they know about this series, and if they’d be interested in a B5 collection. Have them post here, or in the podcast forums, just have them stand up and say something. This is one time when it’s not too late for the pebbles to vote.

I’d never heard of this series until Summer and Tim started talking about them. I’d definitely buy a B5 book, and am interested in the others. So, Summer, let them know they’ll expanding their fan base with this one! Perhaps even beyond the rim, no?

I’d buy it. The BSG book is very good so far; I’m there for something in the same vein on B5.

I would definitely buy it. Their Farscape book was excellent, as was the Battlestar collection.

I love the SmartPop books (especially the Buffy, Firefly and Farscape ones). I would definitley buy a B5 collection if it came out. I think Babylon 5 still had a large and dedicated fanbase.

I love the SmartPop books. I would read a B5 collection if it came out. And I can’t wait to read your essay in the BSG collection, Summer. Congrats on being published.
