MetalHeart Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) I have a camera PS I assume you meant Cj or I <3 Edited August 25, 2009 by MetalHeart Quote
Thelogan Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Lol. It really doesn't look that impressive, not nearly as cool as Newt's setup. Just one old shelf, sagging from the weight. I wouldn't lie, there's too many people who could call me out and I would have added a lot of shit that's curiously absent. But MH's already volunteered her camera and services, as far as I'm concerned, so pics should be forthcoming. Quote
Thelogan Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Alright, I apologize for the quality. I'm working with the .3 Megapixels on my DSi. These are the books I'm most proud of, simply because they're by far the hardest to find. Quote
Boogie Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Niiice Thelogan! BTW Nick and Jay: Could you believe that I HAD that Maximum Carnage TPB for several years, that untill I made the Nick move and i sold it with the first 4 marvel masterworks books of Spidey... Quote
The NZA Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 fuck, i so want that silly TPB. then again, yeah, idve sold it for funds to buy logan's Miracle Man run. Lo - youve a DSi? so i do know one guy with one, huh. get sharper pics, books look good but i cant quite make a few of em out! Quote
Jables Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 That's a sweet collection Logan. I really gotta update my pic too though. It's a good thing our trip doesn't come by Texas, lest those Cerebus trades end up mine NZA- check the portable consoles thread. Logan was the first to post a review on the damned things. Quote
MetalHeart Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 and there's more! No, but seriously. There's more. Lots more. I'll be by with our camera, or I could always loan it for a bit. I have the power! Quote
Thelogan Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Thanks for the praise guys. It's been a long, slow accumulation. Around 20 years, I reckon. It's not that impressive when you take that into account. I'm still totally in awe of Newt's library, personally. There really isn't that much more, the vast majority of the shelf-worthy books are in the pics. I'll take you up on that camera tho, so I can at least take some clear shots. JZA- All the Cerebus pre Jaka's Story are in the longboxes. I think I more proud of those (letters pages ftw). I still don't have it all, I'm delaying the inevitable. I will be sad when there's no more Cerebus to read. Quote

Also the comic book shop near my work is ordering me some more Ex Machina and Saga of the Swamp Thing books. Any other hidden gems you got tucked away?? Quote
Boogie Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Ly!!!! I dont know if MH told you, but i FINALLY bought the first 16 tankoubons of One Piece for a little over $60. Im still reading them Quote
Boogie Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 My collection is more japanese than anything lately... Quote
Jables Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Sexy. I really gotta get some photos of my current bookshelf, I like to think it's coming along quite nicely. Quote
Boogie Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Yeah man, I wanna see yours ..........eeerrrr that didnt sound quite good. :P Anyway, put some pics Jay! Quote
The NZA Posted April 4, 2010 Author Posted April 4, 2010 new setup here at the beach, new bookcase (well, new to me - $50 down by the marina, thanks craigslist). shit's way too tall to work in my old apt, but i like how it filled out...im not buying graphic novels these days so its likely gonna stay like that, only a few books lent out right now too. bookcase on the right is philosophy for the first 2 shelves, then fire, research, novels etc. im buying more of these books these days due to half.com sellers letting the classics go for less than $1 lately. anyway, im happy. Quote
Jables Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Man that's a sweet new shelf. I gotta get another cam and post an updated pic of my collection. it's pretty goddamned sweet. Quote
Newtype Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 I've seen better. Add absolute planetary 1-2 to my collection. Quote
The NZA Posted July 24, 2010 Author Posted July 24, 2010 i'm sticking with my quality v. quantity argument here. that said, you should post updated pics of your library and its current layout when you can. Quote
