This is Comic Geek Speak, episode 402, a conversation with Fred Hembeck.

Welcome to Comic Key Speak. I'm Brian Deamer.

I'm Adam Murdo. I'm Jamie D. I'm Peter Rios.

And this episode of Comic Geek Speak is sponsored by Library Binding.

Let me tell you about library binding. Everyone knows I'm a huge trade paperback and hardcover guy,

but I own a lot of comics that will not be collected or might not be collected any time soon or won't be collected in the way that I want them collected.

So I can solve that problem by going to librarybinding.com and I can ship off my books and I can have them bound into a nice custom hardcover exactly the way I want it.

It's awesome.

I just had my whole Shade the Changing Man run

bound and then four beautiful matching volumes. It's great because, you know, I has all the

letters pages in. I like looking at the old ads from comics in the past and I have the

covers in between each issue that tells me this is issue one and this is issue two and Sometimes with trades and hard covers, they don't do that and it ticks me off.

And it's cheap.

I mean, the base price is $15 per volume, and you can actually get that rate.

It's not a phony, like, a sucker rate that you can't actually find on the internet.

No, that's the real price.

If you start adding extra features, of course, up but for only $15 you can bind comics and uh they're

wonderful the customer service is fantastic if you email them the owner actually responds to you

usually within several hours i mean the owner of the company gets right back to you.

It's great. You can go to our forums, and there's a whole library binding sub forum that, or I should

say binding forum where almost all the customers use library binding and they talk about all their

experiences. You can see great examples of how people did stuff.
