I use original issues because 1) they give the product a sense of authenticity, 2) you can have them quality sewn which you can't do with glued and 3) not everything is available in TPB.

I'm mostly satisfied with the end product though I'd do a few things differently, mostly leave out gluebound prestige formats like "Mojo Mayhem" since they necessitate a lower quality binding when you have gluebounds in the mix.

I have no regrets. It sure makes the floppies a lot prettier on the bookshelf.
