A forum for trading UY comics, books, and other collectibles. Looking for missing back issues? Want to sell/trade your extra copies of UY? Want to post your eBay auction? Then look no further!
I recently got into UY (addicted to) and have been getting the Library binding books as I like hardcover editions of books I want to keep. I've really been pleased with the quality of the ones I got from Amazon and they look great on the shelf all next to each other.
Anyway... Is there any other place to obtain these at that price? (about $25) Amazon is missing seemingly random volumes in the series and I'd like to have all the same format instead of having random paperbacks mixed in there. I'm looking for books 3, 10, and 11. I've done an extensive search, and amazon is the only place that seems to carry the library bound books. Surely there is another retailer somewhere that can get these! I've been AMAZED at how expensive the regular hardcovers are going for, and would like to complete my collection of library binding books without having to take out a 2nd mortgage.
our friend Steve Hubbell has done a thorough research about the library bindings in another thread, so that could be helpful if you want to order them (in case you've got a bookshop willing to take in orders, that is)
I've highlighted information (ISBN) for the library bindings; it might be that book 3 and book 19 are being released in library binding by now.
Here it comes:

There were a few differant "publishers" releasing them over the years, and some of the books just didn't seem to have a library edition version. There could posible be more available since I originally made this list.
Sometimes I'm amazed about the prices signed and numbered HCs go for as well, but then again they are limited to a mere 300 - 750 books each (with book 4 [1500 books] and book 5 [1000 books] being significant exceptions). And they do look good on the shelf; it's always kind of satisfying just to have a daily look at the back of my HC collection
Good luck in finding your missing books!
