From Matt Dale:

The unique pieces of work within (the introduction, overview, biographies, essays on controversies and leap days) total just 28 pages of the 152. The rest, for those with internet connections in 1996, was available for free at ql-archive.org. Nonetheless, this is a nice way of collecting everything together in one place, and this author did find it easier thumbing through the panel transcripts on the book than in plain text format online.

This was only available in large print text.

A later version of this was made almost identically titled The Making of Quantum Leap. Find info on this book here.






A conversation held at the University of California in Los Angeles on November 26, 1990.


















Producers Chris Ruppenthal, Deborah Pratt, and Tommy Thompson, writer Beverly Bridges, art director Cameron Birnie, and consultant Rich Whiteside attended a panel to discuss the creative process behind the series. It took place at Universal Hilton on March 1, 1992.












Also on March 1, 1992 at the Universal Hilton Hotel during the annual Quantum Leap convention, Donald P. Bellisario, Scott Bakula, and Dean Stockwell held a panel discussion.
























The pages above are from a discussion panel at the Museum of Broadcasting Festival at the LA County Museum of Art on March 17, 1990.
