My collected editions collection

Post by Gaffey »

I finally took some pictures of my collection and I really shouldn't have used a flash... :roll:

Anyway, here's my collection of books.

That is a nice collection! My sense of having things in order is very satisfied by your arrangement. What are you using for shelving? Ikea Kallax?

It's a little weird. I go by size and publisher, but I also have an entire Image/Vertigo section that is separate from the other trades. Why do I do this? I have no idea!

Yeah, a 2x4 and a 4x4 Kallax are connected using C-clamps to keep them lined up nicely.

The clamps are hidden behind the books.

Very nice! I need to get new shelving one day soon. My collection is in disarray as we speak.

I don't want to hijack your thread, but could you take some close up pictures of your Zato Ino, of the hands & sword area?

I need to try and fix mine (the sword is twisted and broken) and would like to see a good example.

You can PM me if you like.

Haha! Mine was also broken. The blade no longer comes straight out of the scabbard or whatever its called.

The pictures on this page are way nicer than what I could provide since my sword is bent/not attached to the hand properly.

Reading all but 5 books is impressive. I'm really impressed with the bookshelf display too. Glad you get to enjoy them all so much.

Peace, maka

There's something there in the upper right hand corner of the photo. . . If you ever run out of space, I will gladly take it off your hands! :lol:

I can't remember if I shared these here before.
