Doesn't mean it will happen, but I am hoping since DC has made available TP editions of their current Omnibus books.

I just received "Batman From The 30's To The 70's" Hardcover book in the mail today. This is a 2nd print (1972) and is in virtually flawless condition! The book looks much better than the actual picture and is very glossy, no dents, dings,creases or tears in the dust jacket, everything SHARP! I bought this from an eBay seller who stated that this came from an estate sale & was in an unpicked library room. I have never seen a copy of this book in such nice shape and I have been looking for the past 3 years. This is my HOLY GRAIL of Batman!! I had this book and read it to death in my youth and in my OLDer years have been wanting it for a very long time. Ok, so the seller wanted $60 for it and I offered $52 and he accepted the offer. I paid $4.10 for shipping. I have seen this same book in lesser condition go for far more. I borrowed this book from a friend a year or two ago and really enjoyed it. Nice pickup...especially in that condition. Thanks Confessor. My memories of this book were that I loved it to death, reread it so much! I recall taking it to school without the dust jacket and this kid picked on me for liking Batman! Ha, this kid seen me carrying the book and made a scene in front of other kids. I recall it bothering me at the time but it did not scar me as a result! This same kid who picked on me came up to me one day on the school bus and grabbed my copy of Human Fly #1 and threw it out of the bus window! Looking back I wish I would have beat the crap out of him...but in those days I was very passive...perhaps stupid/misguided:)

He wasn't such a bad guy, his sister was really nice. I did smash his pumpkin that was in front of his house one year during Halloween. Although I did feel bad about it.

Amy and I went to see Wonder Woman today finally (was house bound when it came out) and stopped at the Half Price Books nearby to use the birthday coupon they sent me. I picked up the Tarzan Centennial Celebration Burroughs Signature Edition Slipcase book... originally had a $70 msrp, HPB had it for $19.99 minus the 15% coupon, so got it on the cheap. I also picked up the Warlords OGN by Steve Skeates and David Wenzel published by DC back in the 80s for $3 minus coupon... I got a few modern things as well (Vol. 1-3 of Black Science by Remender). I was tempted by one of the IDW bio/art books about Alex Toth (Genius Illustrated) but we're on a tight budget for the next few months, so I passed on it. I am purging a bunch of books here in the next few weeks and I might drop them off at that HPB and see if they still have that volume though. -M

I just keep a (ridiculously) large wish list and check it now and then to see if there's something cheap.

Oh, Okay. The first time I read that Kang arc I didn't think much of it but I re-read it a few years ago and I enjoyed it. I think the first time around I read the parts out of order, or I didn't have all the issues. There was a time that I dropped the book.
