@mattwinnicki65934 жыл бұрын
From personal experience with other books, that damage was caused due to the perfect binding of the book (the glued binding) and most likely storing the book with the spine face up. As a result the spine collapsed, which caused both of the terrible folds in it which you can see at the end of the video. Also note how the outside of the spine imploded and the outer covers are bowed, this sort of damage points to the book being stored with the spine facing up and gravity pulling it down. The damage isn’t from reading, rather it is from improperly storing the book.

Question, for the last 2 1/2 years I've collected Omnibuses and they are well taken care of (not read much). Some of them though are pretty heavy of 1200 to 1300 pages, I'm recently learn that some of their bottom blocks are curve meaning possible page sag after years of maintenance once in a while. Being that your a big collector and that I'm sur you take care of your Omnibuses, do your's have some for of page sags? Do you usually put a foam under your Omnibuses bottom page block to keep it from sagging? Otherwise what do you do? I have 7 Omnibuses I've had for 1 to 2 years. In 8.4 to 9.0 MT condition, just in a library dust jacket cover.

One of my local bookstores was selling the BEFORE WATCHMEN omnibus for $75 and its spine was completely messed up. The binding seemed to have been torn off about half way. It’s a complete rip off that they were selling it at that price in the condition it was in. And that’s something I see all the time with bookstores and online. They’ll have an omnibus in absolute garbage condition but then still somehow expect retail price. Insane!! More people should watch this video.

Just started collecting omnibuses in the past year, and this was an extremely helpful video for me. How do you recommend storing the huge books? I have read storing them vertically, as you do, can cause problems with the spine of the book, as the text block is being pulled down, since it isn't level with the book shelf. Have you seen any problems in your omnibuses from this? Thanks for all of the great content, love your channel.

Good video! Thank you
This is how you should break in any hardcover book.
Never realized you had to do this. I have OCD about things like books being messed up. Along with them being expensive just pisses me off when they are beat when dumbass at amazon ship them in paper bags. Imma do this from now on thanks for the video.
Dawg you got me buying these now.
Wow, I had no idea. Thanks man 💪
Totally gonna do this with my 1 Omni! Thanks 💎 👊🏽
I just bought my first ómnibus so I really appreciated your advises . By the way whats the word on your right forearm's tatto? Sevilla?
Thanks dude I’m opening a couple of new books right now and don’t want any damage.
Didn't know there was a specific way to open a Omnibus thanks
One of my local bookstores was selling the BEFORE WATCHMEN omnibus for $75 and its spine was completely messed up. The binding seemed to have been torn off about half way. It’s a complete rip off that they were selling it at that price in the condition it was in. And that’s something I see all the time with bookstores and online. They’ll have an omnibus in absolute garbage condition but then still somehow expect retail price. Insane!! More people should watch this video.
Just started collecting omnibuses in the past year, and this was an extremely helpful video for me. How do you recommend storing the huge books? I have read storing them vertically, as you do, can cause problems with the spine of the book, as the text block is being pulled down, since it isn't level with the book shelf. Have you seen any problems in your omnibuses from this? Thanks for all of the great content, love your channel.

I saw a video where someone put foam on the bottom of the larger books to lift and even the pages for relief on the spine. You can see the U curve from the weight of the pages. I just put folded paper under my bigger books especially those over 1000 pages.
"Don't do it like a savage" Uses a box knife, LOL :) Very good video. Please people, care for your books. Good advice bud! Thanks
Genius mate, I may have just got struck into something without this tip
Would never have thought to do this before watching this
Very informative vid, different question for you other than seeing price gouging online, Amazon resellers, eBay, ect how do you find out if a omnibus went OOP?

if it's not available on www.instocktrades.com it's a good indication that its OOP.
