And the UK-based writers who feature on the ELC Volume 1, who will show

"Flaws or no flaws, this is an essential collection. Anyone interested in
the field of electronic literature should take the trouble to get it on DVD.
Some of this material is priceless, and it may not be available on the Web
indefinitely." 
- Edward Picot, The Hyperliterature Exchange 

"In the breadth of work contained in it, as well as the innovative way the
editors and authors have made it available, this is a generous collection."
- Tim Wright, Realtime Arts
