This is Comic Geekspeak, episode 493, Off the Racks.

Welcome to Comic Geek Speak. I'm Brian Deemer.

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

And this episode of Comic Geek Speak is brought to you by Library Binding.

So everybody who reads comics, most people, maybe Pants is the only exception.

They like to have some collection of comics.

you ship to them and they will have them bound

into a beautiful one-of-a-kind hardcover. You can have whatever you want put on the front cover

It starts at only $15.

In fact, every volume that I've gotten bound, I have paid only $15 for it.

Matt, you know, goes for all kinds of bells and whistles with logos and stamps and all that stuff,
