[CALIBK12] Binding Comic Books

[Thomas Nixon]

Something to consider is whether they might be worth more to your library in their current condition. You may want to have them "appraised" at your local comics/graphic novel store. If they are of sufficient age or uniqueness, you may be able to sell them and buy more current graphic novels (or whatever) for you library.

It's at least something to consider.

Subject: [CALIBK12] Binding Comic Books

I have just received a large amount of individual, old, cool comic books.  Some of these are things I've never seen before, like the Silver Surfer, while others are a little more well-known.  Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had an idea about how I might (cheaply and easily) bind comics of the same series into one volume that the kids can check out.  Leaving them as individual comics is an invitation for trouble, if you ask me.  They are delicate and could really use a hard or semi-hard cover of some sort.

Ideas?
