I made the mistake and never bought the Doctor Dobbs Developer DVD and it isn't available anywhere. I even wrote the new owners of Doctor Dobbs, they had no original.

Luckily the Internet Archive has nice collection, but it isn't the same as the content of the DVD.

If you are in Seattle, the living computer museum has a small nook sized library with some really old issues.

I think that torrent hasn't had any seeders in a really long time.

>Doctor Dobbs Developer DVD

What does / did the Doctor Dobbs Developer DVD contain? I used to read DDJ back in the day, when it was available (didn't have access to it in India, used to buy used copies at second-hand book shops, or sometimes read full articles standing right there in the shop, ha ha. Thankfully the shop owners never prevented me from doing that, maybe because of seeing my genuine interest, and I did buy copies once in a while). And I remember DDJ issues used to have ads about things like DDJ's CD-ROM of Alternative Programming Languages, and other such interesting stuff. Perusing the contents of such ads might even have been (not sure) how I got to know about Python, for example, which I use to this day :) A pity they had to shut down. I remember that the quality of the articles was very good, as was that of CUJ (C User's Journal). I also used to grab and read issues of these two magazines (and a few others, like VBPJ, Java Report and others) in the libraries of bigger companies where I worked some time later (the small one where I worked earlier didn't have much of a library, though it was not zero there either).
