HARDCOVERS
- TRADE PAPERBACKS - GRAPHIC NOVELS - HARDCOVER COLLECTIONS -
- LIMITED EDITIONS - MISCELLANEOUS -

For those that like to build their libraries with longer-lived (albeit more expensive) hard cover editions, or if you're looking for something that's just not available as a softcover, this is the place to look. The different types of hardcovers listed are pretty self-explanatory. I do realize that two of these categories seem a little overlapping: trade paperbacks usually are "collections". In this case, though, the trade paperbacks listed below are hardcover editions of the trade paperbacks, and the collections are special hardcover collections like the Marvel Masterworks series. Enjoy!

Trade Paperbacks
