Finally pulled the trigger on that $90 omnibus, no regrets so far

I kept eyeing this 30th anniversary omnibus at my local shop for about 4 months. Last Friday I just grabbed it after my shift and took it home. Read 200 pages that night and the binding feels solid, not like those glued ones I've had split on me. My wallet is lighter but my shelf finally looks complete. Has anyone else taken a chance on a pricey collection and had it pay off?

Funny how we'll drop ninety bucks on the stuff we love without blinking, but then hem and haw over a fifteen dollar lunch. That binding thing is the real deal though, once you've had a glued spine crack down the middle you never trust 'em again. The nice part is the shelf looking done, it's like the room finally breathes easier or something. And honestly, if you're gonna spend money on anything, spending it on the thing that'll still be there in twenty years beats a couple of nights out that you'll forget by Tuesday.
