In honor of the series’ 40th anniversary, Fantagraphics is publishing a hardbound boxed set reproducing its first 50 issues; it’s expensive and worth it.

“Yesterday, I made four trips from her vehicle; the entire back of her SUV was full of hardbound box sets of books.”

I have nice, hardbound editions of 'The Iliad,' 'The Odyssey,' 'The Aeneid' and others.

There was also, poignantly now, a slender, hardbound history of Centralia, prepared to mark the town’s centenary just before the outbreak of the fire.

But my “Carl Sandberg” was the first book I ever bought for myself, a fat, gray, hardbound volume with a red square.
