And this is how I met your mother 

Nicely done! If I remember correctly my 8.5 has a terrible misswrap. I'm just glad to see someone acquiring these, it's been a minute since we've seen someone post a Ghul book  

 cheers!

Given the thread, you've probably had it for a while

Sorting my annuals out and took a group shot of my Batman ones, took me years to find NM copies of these bad boys. 

 

I see a rare, TOTALLY UNDERVALUED, Alan Moore story in that mix...

Here is my copy of "Batman from the 30's to the 70's", not a comic, but a Collected Edition from the 70's so it's Bronze Age material.  This is the best looking copy I have ever seen, bought it from an eBay seller several years ago and he stated he purchased it from an estate sale, was on a shelf with other Bat-memorabilia.

I am also fortunate to have a copy in near mint condition. The gorgeous Infantino-Anderson dust cover is more than worth the price of the book.

I'm glad you also own a nice copy, they are very hard to find without the dust jacket and book itself showing considerable wear.  I used to own a copy when I was a kid and read those stories over and over, even took it to school with me.

Great pick up. I destroyed my copy of this book when I was a kid in the mid 1970s by reading it over and over and over and over. Recently bought another copy off the boards to destroy all over again!

I cannot believe I forgot to post this over Christmas.

Apologies if I have posted these before.

I went to a local show here in WV over the weekend. I picked up 36 books in the 300s for my batman run. 
I have 31 books left to get in that number block.

I got this book in the mail today. I think there was a weird scan in the listing of an interior page that made buyers be cautious with it. I realized it was an artifact from scanning and thought the book overall looked really nice.

This was advertised on eBay raw as an 8.0,  I paid $43

New bags after a few decades. Thought I’d do a group photo.  Loved these as a kid because… duh, they were huuuge.

I saw on Amazon they were doing these B&B color omnibus reprints. 
 

I really, really, really wish they would do omnibus reprints of the Batman and Detective issues that include (but not limited to) the issues that have Neal Adams covers and interiors with the original coloring. 
 

I know there’s the Neal Adams omnibuses but I can’t stand the recoloring he did and think in some cases it spoils the stories.

That’s a really sweet copy. 
 

I finally picked up a decent copy off of e Bay not long ago. Not nearly as nice as yours and not a first edition/first printing but good enough for flipping through and bringing back memories. 
 

I checked this book out multiple times from the library as a kid and spent a lot of time soaking in the Adams covers in that last color section. I had no clue about artists or anything like that at that point, but I remember thinking even as a kid “why don’t the Batman comics I see at the grocery store look like these?”
