My All-Star Superman/DC One Million is done...should be in the mail coming back to me today and hoping to get it in the next few days. Excited to get my hands on this one.
My next 3 volumes are almost done.
Here are two covers (I mostly made these except for the spines):

Mostly not my covermaking skills, but my ideas:

I'm super excited for all of these, especially my Thanos volume which is like all the big Thanos stories through Infinity Gauntlet.
Those are sweet!
Hello! This is my first post on the site. I found CBR while researching comic book binding and I have read through this entire thread. It has been super informative. I wanted to post my excitement that I received notification from Herring & Robinson TODAY that my first order is ready for shipment! I intend to upload some pictures after I receive the books. Cheers

Cool, can't wait to see your books

Here are the Herring & Robinson books I received today. Such beautiful craftsmanship! As you can tell I went for a simple style that is uniform. All of the books are HAND SEWN from original floppies. All are buckram cloth with head/tail bands and bookmarks.

You can really tell that squeezing that 19th issue in the second volume is a stretch for a hand sew. I really recommended smaller binds if possible; 12-16 is probably ideal.

Let's play 'spot the error!' It was pretty disappointing, but, I already contacted H&R and it should be a simple fix. I'm just going to send the Jessica Jones edition back with my next order to get that final 'S' stamped on there.

This is the project I have been working towards - this first order, although relatively large, was a trial run. I want to have The Sandman series bound in 6 volumes. After many different attempts, this is the map that I am currently leaning towards. I would appreciate any feedback on it. I'm also undecided on the binding material. I was thinking about black buckram but now I'm considering imitation leather.
