Comic-book library anyone? I have lots of comics and comic related books. Recently I took the trouble to list them.
Comics 263. Collected Editions 155. Graphic Novels 58. Publications devoted to individual artists 17. Other (books, magazines, catalogues) 55. History 39. (below) Not all of them are in perfect condition but the majority are good. Many of the books and graphic novels are hard-back which I neglected to note while listing and am not going to retrace and note now. It would be nice if these might be available to and read by as many interested parties as possible – a library or education establishment with an interest in comics and comics history would be good. If you are one such then get in touch and we can see what we can work out. The right person would have them for free. Email me at me@arthurranson.com .
