Becky and Bob Hibbard
I started obtaining poor-condition first editions on Ebay, and then recreated the covers in leather. I also found a G&D Apes reprint with a Weissmuller signature, so I did that one too. Jerry Spannraft provided a first state McClurg Apes that had been previously rebound and I had special fun rescuing that one. 

The O-220 top hat was purchased by Buddy Sanders for Bill Ross to wear while conducting Dum-Dum/ECOF auctions. 

The koozies and mug holders were made for Rudy Sigmund's Fargo ECOF.

The Lord Greystoke helmet was for my own edification---"J'encore vis" = "I still live".

Thanks to Jim Thompson I discovered the "eyeball spine" concept, and I now seem to be unable to stop doing them. Eyeballs are cool peeking out of leather.
