Perididdle: I always end up getting my comics from several difference sources, because I didn't realize when I pre-ordered at TFAW that I would want all three covers of each (and I didn't realize I'd have to wait at least a week longer to get them!)
so then I bought out all they had at my local comic book store (he assures me he'll have more in stock for Serenity #3!)
and still I don't have enough...
seems like my friends don't want to buy their own,
they want to borrow mine;
don't they know I want to keep my copies all clean and nice? LOL
So now I need extra 'library' copies for lending...

I'd check around your family if I were you, CS,
I'll bet you have a Grandmother or Aunt who would enjoy knitting you a Jayne hat,
and could knock it out in a couple of days....
It doesn't have to be perfect
(actually 'perfect' would involve some straw sticking out of it...
occassionally)

I feel your pain! I'm painstakingly obsessed with my DVDs and books, so when I lend them out to friends, I always tell them how exactly they should attempt to handle the discs and pages. I'm to the point where I will only give my DVDs to good friends who I know won't hurt them (I'm quite proud of my Buffy set, you see...^_^)

A lending library doesn't sound like a bad idea at all...that way, you can still convert friends and, at the same time, keep your own copies nice and perfect.

Should Bartlett's or Bartleby ask me, I'll tell them I heard it from niknak, first.

Support your local comic-shop. There's an 1800 number you can call to find one.

I've had no problem getting my comics. I just went to my local comic shop and had them add it to my pull-list.

Yup, I went to my local comic shop for both issues, and bought the guy at the registar's copy both times (I felt bad, but hey, he made the purchase!)

No power in the 'verse can stop me!
