Hi,
If you ever care to elaborate in the future, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be the only one interested in hearing more about this decision.
=================
It boils down to irreconcilable differences. We agreed to disagree.
As for working with new binders, I thought I had that worked out. But I was informed that I was not needed, but they did want my customer list. Sigh.
As far as I am concerned the customer list belongs to Capitol, B59 and Guardian. They made the books. They are not going anywhere. I encourage you to continue working with them.
I want to wish you the best in whatever you choose to do next.
Thank you!
The 48 books you, Mike and Team SBS did for me are some of my most prized possessions.
May the future be kind to you.
My New Teen Titans run was one of my first books, and most definitely is my most prized comic.=================
You and the binders you work with have done some amazing work. Best of luck to you, sir!
Of all the bindings I've had done both here in the UK and with you, the EC collection I had done by you is still my most prized collection. =================
Thank you! I wish Bob was alive to read your words. He loved doing the EC books.
This is the end of an era. Thank you for all that you have done for us.
Thank you, my pleasure.
I thank you very much for your part in getting me into this hobby!
You’re welcome! No matter who binds your books, keep binding. And pass them around! They are meant to be read.
Thanks David. The eager anticipation of the postings of pictures from the Saturday morning visits to Capitol.
You’re welcome. My favorite day of the week was Saturday! Waiting to see what was done. I would rush home to get the books photographed and packed ready for shipping.
All the best to you.

I have received many emails expressing the same sentiment. I have also received many emails from people who never sent me any business, haven’t talked to me in years and yet are upset, sad, etc.
This isn’t 2003.
There many fine binderies out there with comic book binding experience.
You just need to establish a working relationship.
I have tried out over 20+ binderies and there really hasn’t been a dud in the bunch.
And Capitol, Bindery 59 and Guardian haven’t gone away. Just contact them; I am sure they are willing to help. So far they tell me they haven’t heard from a single customer.
Personally, I like the fact that binding is back to being a hobby.
I am having a lot of fun prepping my own books and meeting with tmbenson9 to plot future ventures.
