Is the 1946-1947-1948 BPRD collection going to be one omnibus or will there be multiples like Plague of Frogs?

I agree, and to me the OHC are the taller books. NZ_Inferno's post says omnibuses are OHC, though, so I'll claim to just be trying to play by the rules.

There are few things I hate more than when publishers decide to switch spine design. I mean, I don't care if different titles have different spines, but my fifth volume of The Goon TPB is different from the rest (I think it's the first printing) and I die a little inside every time I see it.
Re trades
Personally I am getting ready to make the leap back into digital. I gave it a shot on an Ipad about three years ago and it just never felt good to me. But three years later and having even more storage problems and the improvement of ereaders, I think it is time again to give them a try.
Once you go digital, the convenience and portability of trade paperbacks lose their value.
If I successfully convert, I suspect I will be only a hardcover collector at that time.
trying to be nicer
I recently stumbled across a nifty custom bound hardcover of Promethea #1-12. Now im eyeing up the Absolute 2 + 3 in order to get the rest of the story. Does anyone have them? Can I get some pics and some info on the quality and what extras there are? They are insanely cheap right now, so if you guys say they are good quality Im gonna get them instead of waiting a year or however long for Immateria.
The stories are told in chronological order. I think what you're confusing is that long after Matt Wagner thought he was done telling Hunter Rose tales, he went back and wrote some never-before-told stuff, so obviously that came out later. However, they are put together in proper reading order.
Also, I don't think you can get them all in hardcover.
There were a number of incarnations of Grendel, since Grendel is technically an essence, or something like that. The Black. White, Red, etc. books are collected in the first omnibus and are about only Hunter Rose. Matt Wagner writes all of them, but teams up with a ton of superstar artists.
I just saw that the cover image has changed on amazon's listing for the Saga deluxe HC.
I really hope that this is the final one they're going with, after all the fuss there was over the breastfeeding image on the cover of the very first issue.

One of my friends said he won't buy it if this is the final cover. I don't think he has a problem with breasts or babies, he just thinks it's a bad cover (probably he would prefer spaceships, explosions and hot chicks). His loss.
To be honest, I don't understand the fuss about covers. Most of the time people only look at the spines not the covers. I think I have several books that I can't recall the cover of (like BPRD covers or superhero books, with general posing and stuff like that).
Of course I appreciate a nice cover, but not buying a book you are interested in just because the cover is not your cup of tea?

Personally I think it's a boring cover. Fiona Staples has done some fantastic covers for Saga and this is just meh. I really hope the book comes with a cover gallery.
