That works out to, per page, um ... yeah, stay with me here ... um ... aw, eff it.

None for me, thanks. I...<i>Swords of Cerebus in Hell?</i>? None for me, thanks. I haven't kept up with the updates in months. Has Dave talked about why he thinks a trade edition is worthwhile? He has claimed that the reason he won't do a 17th volume that collects the uncollected jam stories and in-between issues is that it's tough enough keeping the main 16 books in print. Introducing a new series-that-isn't-a-story in trade form seems to run counter to that. I can't imagine a trade helping him bring in new readers to buy off the last several hundred old copies of <i>Jaka's Story</i> in Diamond's possession. Still, best of success with this to Dave and others involved. May it somehow open the way for YDKJ and SDOAR, as well as further remastered phone books, to arrive sooner instead of later.Michael Grabowskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-19408695784691146682019-01-16T15:59:22.583-06:002019-01-16T15:59:22.583-06:00So I could buy the single issues of CiH? for $4 pe...So I could buy the single issues of CiH? for $4 per issue new - assuming I can’t find them on sale somewhere - or I can buy the book for $20 which breaks down to $5 per issue. <br /><br />No thank you. <br /><br />I was really hoping for a phone book of these with a few more issues per book. <br /><br />Bob O.
