    Question What are your favorite mangas in hardcover form?

    Where do I find them in the first place?

    Hardcovers are a lot of $$$ for local shops to tie up; I've had more luck with Barnes and Noble for the exotic stuff.

    I'm mostly looking for collections/omnibus/hardcovers for the classic stuff... Late 80's and early 90's when the Japanese stuff was breaking through. I was the demographic back then, nostalgia and all... Kinda keeping an eye out for that stuff.

    I'm currently working my way through Vinland Saga and that's hardcover. I was mid-way through Battle Royale when they put out the hardcovers of that so I switch mid-way. Doesn't look that nice on a shelf but it was more cost effective (price of 3 single volumes vs. 1 hardcover). They also just stared putting Berserk out in hardcover so if you've never read it that's a good way to start.

    As far as where I get them, normally I get them from Barnes and Noble or Amazon.
