Ireland he's due to meet next week. I have an ongoing project with David Banks to produce a 23 volume EC library using the Gemstone comics... but I also have numerous other books I want to have made into hardbacks, and so I'm also using Blissett's services so that I can have them made and received more quickly. The books I will be taking to Charles (the Blissetts rep) next week will be the first 30 issues of Jon Sable Freelance. I'm planning on making a 4 volume set with all 56 issues; vol.1 with #1 - #15, vol.2 with #16 - #30, vol.3 with #31 - #43, and vol.4 with #44 - #56. The idea is to have the volumes in black (sable) with gold lettering. When I get the books in about 4 - 6 weeks time, I'll have some photos posted here. Other books I have planned to have hardbacked are Nexus, Groo the Wanderer, Grimjack, and DNAgents.

There's a bindery in Wisconsin that has a good site as well: www.grimmbindery.com/ I've donated some journals to my local university library (they were missing the key year 1969 of Space Aeronautics, and I had inherited those issues). A few days ago, I finally had the chance to see the completed binding they had ordered of the volumes to match their set. I was thrilled to see the stack of magazines transformed into handsome hardcovers by an in-state bindery. Seeing those books has me looking over my stuff for other potential donations. I can check the online university library catalog and see what they lack (older issues of Baseball Digest , perhaps?).

Just had a few too many things on the table at once. But I'll be discussing with david banks soon about what we can do about it. Visit my website and message board: The Marvel Masterworks Resource Home Page!!!

I'm pointing folks your way if they ask about them, so be prepared... - Bill

I think the whole idea is really great. I'm having 12 issues (319-330) of the Gemstone Uncle Scrooge run bound. More volumes will follow I'm sure.

I've smartened up recently. In the past, I always just told folks the website address or e-mailed the link to them later. Now I have little cards with the web site address on it and a picture of some of my books. I can just hand those out. But with that car full of boxes, I'm not sure you guys actually need any more promoting! - Bill

I had been binding the books haphazardly, but now I have a full run of Superman (main titles and miniseries/specials) from 1986 to 1993. Now I guess the question is whether to bind 1985 or 1994 Of course I also need to get a bigger/better bookshelf....

My next big binding project once I have completed my John Byrne collection (mid 2006) is to have my Superman collection bound, which runs from Byrne's Man of Steel throught to the Return of Superman.

In addition, they wouldn't match the recent bindings. Plus, eventually I will have them rebound (2-3 volumes) in matching hardcovers to the rest of my series. As to why I don't have more archives, I am picking them up slowly for $15 each on ebay, and I am waiting to see what the superman chronicles look like... Ray - I look forward to seeing your Byrne collection completed. Me, I'm trying to go all the way. Not just all the main titles, but also Worlds Finest, Justice League, Superboy, Supergirl, etc. For those, I think I will alter the front title on the spine. I have 7' stack/tower of wrapped "books" ready to be sent to David whenever the funds become available.... - binarysunrise

I hope to be able to post the picture soon. I had a lot of faith in David's and Capital Bindary's work which is why I went ahead and sent the additional 4 books. Needless to say I'm very pleased with the result of the first volume... Many more books to follow, David...
