This is fantastic!  Fans of Frank Ellison and his Delta Lines will want Runs 108 and 109 to start with, especially if they don't already have  print copies of these issues.  Very interesting to read all the material and see where the hobby was at different times.

Runs 125 and 126 also have great articles on the Delta Lines.  Reviewing everything that has been published from all sources, I would put runs 108 and 125 at the top of the list for anybody seeking a definitive history of the Delta Lines: Run 108 covers the Delta Lines during its existence and Dr. Sam Sach's article, "Delta Lines: The Final Chapter" in Run 125 is the authoritative source on the ultimate fate of the Delta Lines.

3/19/20 - To make this complete, there is also the video "Frank Miller's Delta Lines" on the Video Digital Library page.  This includes video of an interview with William Harry, one of the original Delta Lines' crew who took advantage of the lighting a TV station had set up to take the only known color slides of the Delta Lines.  This is also the only video I have seen of William Harry.
