I'll be making a rare foray into Omnibuses to get this, just like I did with the original Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Omnibus. I've got the original trades and Essentials but what I'd *REALLY* like is Marvel Universe Epics....
Two slightly short Epics to cover the original version (could you do it in 1? ..... Maybe. 32 page issues, 36 if we throw in the covers and inside covers, 540 pages before extras)
Three for the deluxe - two for the main book, one for the book of the dead, break 14 between the two (64 pages, 68 with the covers outside & inside * 20 =1360 page)
One for the 89 update? (8 * 48, effectively 52. 416 pages)
Master Edition - 40 issues, 48 pages. Now the format for these are different and it's a LONG time since I held one in hand so I'll make the same front, back and inside cover assumption and call it 52 pages. 2080 pages total. 4 Epics. Be nice if they could format it so pictures and text faced each other rather than front to back.

1400 pages!? £90?!
I did once have the original floppies of those Deluxe ones. I remember them being really thick compared to normal comics.

I hope Update #89 gets the same treatment.
Then there must be Epics of ALL the handbooks ever done!!!

Oh yes, they list stuff at retail and drop the price MASSIVELY when it comes into stock
Cheapest preorder price is £72 at Speedyhen
There's a possibility it might hit UK retail EARLY. NONE of the sites have updated their dates yet! Phil will monitor

£72 is much better. Hmmm. Never heard of Speedyhen. What are they like?

Reasonable rep, though not used their website. Bought from them off eBay and Amazon.
I believe they take cash upfront so hold off as I think we can do better.

Speedyhen looks like a good bet. I can't see a 1400+ page Omnibus dropping below £72.
