I did not buy Sandman: overture because I am waiting for the Absolute version. Have pre-ordered Infinite Crisis & Batman : Year One, but Identity Crisis is a waste of money IMO as there is absolutely (no pun intended) nothing new added from the Tpb 
So far I have:
- Watchmen
- Top 10
- The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 2
- The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Black Dossier
- DC: The New Frontier
- Batman: Hush
- Batman: The Long Halloween
- Sandman Vol's I-V
- All-Star Superman
- Luthor/Joker
- Promethea Vol's I-III
- Identity Crisis
- Crisis on Infinite Earths
- Justice
- Kingdom Come
DC: The New Frontier, Watchmen & Crisis on Infinite Earths are musts! Especially Watchmen with the new colouring, but I think that is replicated in new printings later on

I would have gone for the Deluxe version instead. Preacher is not one of those titles that needs the Absolute treatment IMO. amazon.co.uk are offering a HC with the first 12 issues with the first season of Preacher

I appreciate the advise... though it's a tad late lol... but even still. I've decided all I want on my shelf are Absolute editions and Omnibus books. Unless it's a TPB or HC of something involving Thanos I cannot get in an Omnibus format. I just don't like the looks of anything else.

Amazon packaging for books is horrible. Instocktrades.com has it cheaper and they have the best packaging for tp/hc.

If it's anything like cheapgraphicnovels after the exchange rate and shipping it's far from "cheap". I compared 2 books together in an order from CGN and amazon. After the exchange rate CGN was about $30 cheaper BUT then they quoted something ridiculous like $110 shipping.

Amazon packaging for probably everything is terrible. It's all about getting stuff out as fast as possible. Even with statues you are lucky if you get a person who realizes that they are shipping something fragile.
If a book isn't wrapped in plastic, I don't even bother ordering from Amazon as I know chances are the condition won't be right.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
