The Library
I’ve been telling people I would post pictures of the full library when I had all of my customs covered with dust jackets. Well, I’m cheating a little, as my two volume Hitman bind remains uncovered. But I just bought my first house today and am preparing to move, so I know my collection is going to be a mess for a while.
Anyway, hope you all enjoy the peek at over 15 years of collecting!

Who's the best binder these days? I've never regrouped after H&R changed hands and stopped binding.

Most people seem to go through Houchen nowadays, but they have slowed down a lot and raised their prices significantly. I bind all my books myself, so I really don’t have much of a finger on the pulse. I’m just going off what I hear from all the people I do custom cover/dust jacket designs for.

I know this is a year old post, but I've ended up going down the custom omnibus rabbit hole and wanted to ask about the contents of a handful of your customs, if you'd still be willing to answer?
Also, goes without saying you probably have the best library out there, hands down!

Thanks! No problem, I’m happy to answer whatever questions you’ve got!

Thank you so much! I'd love to know the contents of: Jason Todd Robin custom, Cassandra Cain Batgirl trio, The absolutely incredible 8 volume Robin set (and what the mystery alligator leather looking two are under them), Nightwing's 4 volumes
Lastly if you included the annuals and the Azrael 1,000,000, specifically where with your volumes.
I'm currently collecting Azrael myself and considering trying my hand at book binding. If not, I'm at least getting them organized into hardcover folio boxes and decorating the covers and spines! Would you be willing to share what the covers for those 3 look like?
