Like Bruce said, you certainly can. I don't own a single TPB but I've posted my reviews on Amazon.com, .ca and .co.uk on all the books that I've read in floppy formatIntrepidxc wrote:... I wonder if I could "review" the TPB since I've read all the individual books that make up the TPBs.

Just before we send off the VEI Lending Library, one more thing was added.... Dinesh Shamdasani and Atom! Freeman had given this project their 100% support and wrote a short little message of the inside front cover of X-O Manowar Vol #1 for those who will be reading these books.
This were done at the Q&W Release Party at Collector's Paradise on July 13th 2013.

Gah! Spoiler alert next time. Now there won't be any surprise when I read these. You know, besides the stories themselves.

Re: * * * VALIANT TPB - LENDING LIBRARY IS HERE - SIGN UP NO
I hope you can forgive me for jumping the gun a bit on the Library, but after reading all the current issues to catch up, I liked Harbinger quite a bit so I was able to scrape up enough money outta the budget to go ahead and buy a decent copy of Harbinger Vol. 1 TPB.
And as promised, after I finished reading it, I went ahead and posted my Amazon review of it. 5 stars, of course.

Hey String, do you think you could benefit from using the library to catch up on *everything* real quick? Look back through the thread if you need the details of the project. It's a really good one!

Re: * * * VALIANT TPB - LENDING LIBRARY IS HERE - SIGN UP NO
And, not only will we have 2 sets crossing the USA, but we now have the Canadian Lending library ready to ship once we get the word from Hawkeyeps!
As the sets move around, Elery will be posting a map showing their journey so that we can all track it!
If you want to participate, just let Elery or myself know and we'll get you in the que for them. It's a great way to both experience the VEI Universe and then help out VEI in their efforts by doing the reviews on Amazon. A win win for everyone involved.
Now that this is in process and shipping, let's make this a rousing success for both the members here and VEI! Elery an I both look forward to more board members helping us out with this

String... Dave has offered to drive them down to you.. or meet up in Danville!
Sounds like a great idea since you both aren't very far from each other.
