Toop Can I pay you to do Some Black Ones for me, I love everything about your dust jackets but the baby blue, I love baby blue but it blurrs the text for me.

I'd throw $5 for this.ncameron wrote:If we can get 6 people in on it @ 5 bucks each, it seems very reasonable.Phoenix8008 wrote:Hey all,
I just got off the phone with Jim from Library Binding Company. He said that a 1 inch square die for the spine would run about $30 to have made. I asked about a front cover die as well (just in case) and he said that for a 3 inch by 3 inch die it would be pretty close to $30 as well.
So the next question is would we want just the Valiant compass, or the word "Valiant" above or below the compass as well?
Would anyone want a front cover logo, or just on the spine?
And last but not least, is anyone else actually willing to contribute to a group effort to have this made?

Look in the 'Mapping out Titles' thread to see if you have all the right issues.. if you do them your 80% finished
Set up the books the way you want them bound and send them in.. $25 later and you'll have a book waiting for you on your doorstep
Of course, you could send one of us the books and we could do it for you.. but you may want to take some time to learn it and customize your books for yourself.

Bump;...
Im still working with the printer to have the Fan Finished Secret Weapons book printed.
I'll let that are interested know a final price when I get it.
The proofs that she has made so far look pretty good. Hopefully by next week I will be able to send my Secret Weapon books out to be bound and for those who wanted copies, yours might be in the mail

Ok, my Fan Finished SW #22 prints are finished and they will fit perfectly! If you want a copy, PM me and I'll send the order off to the printer. The cost of this shipped to you should be about $10. This is what Im thinking:
Printing costs: $9
Shipping cost: $1 (2 stamps)
Pm me and I'll get going on this. Remember this is not a comic, simply double sided prints of the pages. These will be printed in a fashion that will be perfect for being bound. I had the printer add more gutter room as to not loose artwork on that side. I'll post some pics as soon as I get my internet back home. Our current weather has knocked out my cable and internet.. Im not complaining though, I still have electricty. (Im typing this at work
