Only catch is I am using an open source spread sheet, but MS Excel should have no problem opening it. - Jack

Maybe it'd be easier for me to map out a Vertigo library if I separate out all the Sandman-universe titles. Those I'd want to arrange separately. I've only read a few of these titles, so what am I missing from this list?
Absolute Sandman:
Sandman Presents:
Are these printed elsewhere?
Should these be included?

I would leave out stuff like The Girl Who Would Be Death, Robinson's Witchcraft minis and House of Mystery which may have some peripheral tie-ins (Death's ankh, the Magdalena Grimoire, the 3 Witches) to the Sandman mythos but don't otherwise really fit in. I wouldn't include House of Secrets or Prez either. Death: At Death's Door isn't a regular comic but a small manga trade by Jill Thompson. Unless you scan and reprint it, it wouldn't be suitable for binding. You could also include Death Talks about Life, the promo insert about STDs that was written by Gaiman and illustrated by McKean. There's also Sandman: Gallery of Dreams, the pin-up issue. Sandman Mystery Theatre does tie-in to Sandman since it features Wesley Dodds who, as Gaimain reveals, takes over for Sandman while he's imprisoned by Burgess. But, other than that (and Sandman Midnight Theatre where they have their first meeting), it doesn't involve Sandman. The Sleep of Reason mini introduces Dodd's replacement.

After removing non-story material, I bound everything into one huge Omnibus titled Tales from the Ledge (taken after the Vertigo column name).

If you're planning on including 1-shot PF/GNs (like Kill Your Boyfriend), then there's also Mercy, Rogan Gosh, Dogmoon, Zatanna: Everyday Magic, Menz Insana & Dhampire Stillborn. Some of the Vertigo previews have exclusive stories that would better go collected in the individual titles if you also plan to bind them i.e. Vertigo Jam has the exclusive Shade the Changing Man story. If you don't plan on doing these binds, then I guess I would put them in your one-shot book.

Thank you for the list. I don't remember being impressed by any of those one shots, but it's an interesting list. And I always thought Dog Moon was a hardcover OGN, but quick Googling shows that it wasn't. Speaking of Google, a fast search for the Zatanna one-shot reveals high prices; who knew that would be the sort of thing that would be valuable?

By the way, the first printing of Kill Your Boyfriend is not prestige format, which is what I have, so I wasn't even thinking along the squarebound line.
