You're talking about this Baccano! manga, right? https://www.amazon.com/Baccano-Vol-manga/dp/031655278X
That manga is an adaptation of the first Volume from the Novels (plus an original story added in). Only 3 volumes for that manga were made.
If you want to continue reading the story, then you will have to read the Baccano! novels instead. There's currently 22 volumes released in the series, but only 14 of them have been translated into English (they translate like 3 or 4 volumes a year, so it won't be too long till we catch up). Once you're done with all 3 manga volumes, you can go straight into Volume 2 (1931 Grand Punk Railroad: Local) of the Novels and continue from there: https://www.amazon.com/Baccano-Vol-2-light-novel/dp/0316270393/
The manga adapts the first novel pretty well, I can tell you the small bits of differences between them if ya want, but they're not particularly important to the plot afaik.
This looks in print to me, or at least affordable (vol 2)
> I haven't seen the 4 English dub episode commentaries since I was unaware of them until now
Ooh, well, the UK Manga Entertainment DVDs include them (I own the same DVDs)! Episodes 4, 7, 9, and 15 are the ones with commentaries, so that's one commentary per disc. Each commentary is located in their respective disc's Extras menu along with the NCOP and NCED.
Enjoy! The commentaries don't have subtitles, unfortunately, so I took it upon myself to transcribe them some years back. My transcripts should be accessible via the wiki's Res...huh, is the folder link not working? Note to self: fix link in that post.
Here's a working link in the meantime, in case you need them. The transcripts are also available on the Internet Archive, for now.

Hey, I know this is a long time ago, but I hope you'll still see this haha. Is there can isbn for the collection? And is this collection different from the baccano Enami art book like this one (https://www.amazon.com/Baccano-Katsumi-Enami-Illustration-Material/dp/4048683160)?
Blu-ray in the UK is readily available on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Baccano-Standard-Blu-ray-Takahiro-Omori/dp/B01DO5873E
Looks like they also list literally the same thing in the US if that's where you are:
And by literally the same I mean the Euro version, region B. Dunno if you can get a hold of a region B or unlocked bluray player, had a quick look but seems expensive and possibly full of pit falls. Good luck anyhoo.
Im assuming you don't want a digital download, so you can try and snag volume 1 from Amazon if ya wish: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Baccano-Vol-light-novel-Bootlegs/dp/0316270369/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1609723983&sr=8-2
For some bizarre reason, Volume 2 isnt on Amazon, so you're gonna need to get lucky elsewhere.
i have not read your post because of spoilers but i hope it gets released in the future i still remember when it was supposed to come out over a decade ago https://www.amazon.com/Vamp-Ryohgo-Narita/dp/1933164387
The one I'm talking about is 18.50€ (+ shipping maybe).
In case you haven't watched it yet:
Baccano's U.S. streaming/home video rights reverted to Aniplex in 2016, and we've had no word since. If you own a region B-compatible player, the Blu-ray can be purchased on Amazon UK or other retailers. Otherwise, you'll have to board the Advena Avis and sail the high seas.
So, a basic rundown.
The novel series currently spans 22 volumes, with a 23rd coming in.... sometime in the future, who knows. After that, we expect at least one more, maybe more.
In english, the novels are officially at Volume 10, which you can see at the right of the reddit page: "1934 Peter Pan in Chains: Finale", and each novel in English has about 4 months between each release. You can buy them off Yen Press, I think the most common resource is Amazon. Personally, however, I use the digital store BookWalker for most LN and manga related stuff, so that's an alternative.
If you're curious about the new content you'll be seeing and such, just as an fyi, the anime adapted the first 4 volumes of the series into the 13 episode run of the show, and it also adapted a short story (which eventually became Volume 14 afterwards) into the 3 special episodes at the end of the series.
While you can technically skip the first 3 volumes of the books, I would recommend against it just so you can have a better perspective on the canon of the books and how they differ from the novels, since some of those minor changes will confuse you in later novels. Additionally, Volume 4 was only partially adapted, and there's many more things left unseen from it in the anime, so that's more reason to start from the beginning.
Last point, there's a lot of just random side content that is apparently canon in one way or another. It's probably best to look into those once you're a few volumes into the book series, I would say, so for now, stick to the books.
I'm going to remove this because this is just a link to a site's homepage rather than something Baccano!-related. (I do see that there's a single-paragraph 'article' on Baccano! featured, if one scrolls down, but you didn't link to it specifically).
It's worth pointing out that, in light of your post history (and that the "5 best dubbed anime" seems to be a series you're authoring), this comes off as somewhat clickbaity/spammish.
(I did click on the article, by the way--not to be too critical, but the paragraph itself is simply derived from the Baccano! DVD blurb, isn't it? Just look at the back of this DVD to see what I mean. Hm...)
Official! Yen Press not only licensed the novels, it licensed the 2015 manga. You can get the manga chapters for for $1.99/chapter on Amazon and read them on Kindle - don't need an actual physical Kindle, just the app.
I alert people on the wiki's Twitter account when the latest English release is out, which is usually pretty close to the Japan release. Yen Press also tends to update their followers when a new chapter is out.
All the screencaps I took above were from the official translation (I buy all the chapters).
Here's the link to chapter one on Amazon.
