Does he mean the DS9 Companion? Available just about anywhere they sell books?

No, I think he mean's the Reeves-Stephens' The Making of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
I love my copy--great book, although it's sorta funny read nowadays because it went to press before even The Jem'Hadar was aired, and therefore there isn't a peep about the Dominion in it. It instead devotes a decent portion to defending against the criticism (of that time) that Deep Space Nine was only about Bajoran political plots and boldly sitting still...

Wouldn't Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble (bn.com) have this title?

I've got a copy too. I sort of liked seeing some of the scripts. It's interesting to me to see how the scenes are written out and compare it to how they're aired.
The concept art is pretty cool too.

I occasionally see it in second-hand bookshops in Brighton. . . that's where I got my TNG Tech Manual, and The Making of ST:FC, which was only published in this country. Haven't felt the need to buy this DS9 book, although its content always looked interesting.

I love the Making of DS9... its really a GREAT book...
There is some great artwork, and great interviews...
Most people didn't like - but I LOVED the first two seasons of DS9... they are VERY special. They were different, and moody and bold and clever and interesting and amazing!
That book encompasses the whole feeling of 'wonder' of not only DS9/Star Trek but the MAKING of an actual Star Trek episode... of which there is precious little information.

I also liked the first couple seasons of DS9. I liked the whole political intrigue things. It required forethought and storylines that were set up and carried over. I thought it was great. If they could've tied it into the whole Emissary thing a little better it would have been superb.

It is a Dutch site, so I don't know if they can ship books to other countries (or how much it costs).
