You wouldn't have to do the cutting and pasting, just be really specific with what you want. For example, they were able to take out the double-sided ads and back covers from the bound comics on request, and keep the MCP #92 Northstar appearance while chucking the rest of that issue.
Very much agreed. My bookshelves make me happy right now.
The price for high-end hardbound as above is $50 each, with return shipping included in the cost. You can get up to 25 issues included per volume, and I think they have minumum of two books per order.
David also just posted an updated list of available styles and prices here.
100% agreement there, and David was great to work with.
