- A look at, and inside, the One Volume Edition of Bone ('The Complete Cartoon Epic'). Jeff Smith's comics saga collected in a 1300+ page omnibus is surprisingly portable, and the limited edition hardcover feels like a treasure!

I have been hearing all my life about how good 'Bone' is. Finally decided to buy the one volume edition paperback. Thanks you.
That's great! I'd love to know what you think once you're done reading.
Lame he didn't reply mean he forgot or never read it to complete.
@@Duvdeve he’s been reading for over 4 years You think he’s done? 💀

Also, I have a goof - a couple of times, I describe the one-volume edition as at 'over 600 pages'. While that is *technically* true, what I meant was 'over 1300 pages'. It's a fat book!
Bone 1 volume hardback is the Bible!
I have done it . It took me nearly a month to go through it . I could have complete it sooner but I want to savour it. It was a great experience and that too with so much of life changing philosophy. My takeaway is "Too feel safe , we need something or someone to feel safe against ". I may be misquoting the line but there are too many of those jems scattered around. Thanks for recommending the book .
BTW , I bought the full colour one volume edition and I just love it.
That’s terrific, so glad you enjoyed the series! And I’m quite jealous of you; the one volume colour edition has been in my wish list for ages but since that would be my sixth version of Bone (well, fifth now that I have given away my colour paperbacks) I have always picked other books! Perhaps I should get a copy for ‘research purposes for the channel’ though! 😀
@@ftloc
I would suggest against it.
Even though prinring is good and binding is ok , pages are too flimsy. I think it have been done to keep the book's thickness minimal.
Oh no! Well, you may have saved me some money then - one of the main reasons I was considering it was because of how thin the black and white one-volume edition’s pages are! That’s a shame, I would have thought the requirements for colour printing would necessitate thick paper! Is it glossy?
@@ftloc
Yes , it is glossy . Colours also look good but it need very delicate handing.
For the Love of Comics do you think the deluxe edition book’s pages are too thin also? They are going for a lot of money. Maybe I should wait for a new hardcover edition to come out.
This is the video that made me subscribe to For the Love of Comics! Your passion for comics and informative approach made me an immediate fan. Always looking forward to more and the black and white Bone is on my list now!
Thank you so very much, and do let me know what you think of Bone in B&W once you're done!
Thanks for the comparison.
Really wish the paperback had a map in it too. Maybe, a fold-out one like in the Lord of the Rings one vol. paperback.
That's EXACTLY what my wife said - "Why doesn't this have a map?"
Coincidentally, she is also a big fan of Tolkien, and a map at the start/ as endpapers really ups a book's temptation for her! 😁`
@@ftloc That's awesome! Happy for ya!😃
Fascinating!
I just got done reading 'Out from Boneville' and it was great! I am so excited to read the others! Thank you for introducing me to Bone :)
You are most welcome - it gives me much joy to think of people encountering this great work for the first time. You're in for quite the ride and I'd love to know what you think of the rest of the books as you go along! Cheers!

The full color edition of the one volume edition is actually also published by Cartoon Books, not Scholastic.
Ah yes, that's something I only found out earlier this year, when Jeff Smith posted about finding extra colour copies in storage! 😁 I'd just assumed Scholastic owned the recolouring; thank you for posting the clarification!
Does the One Volume Edition come with Rose, Tall Tales, and Coda?
No, just the original 55 issues and specials, published upon the completion of that original series.
For the Love of Comics Ok thank you very much!
Those were made after Jeff's first big Bone stint. Fun Fact: in making the grand one-volume version, he contracted carpal tunnel and *kept drawing* until he didn't have it anymore in order to finish the whole thing!
Will this ever be reprinted?
I really would love to have this version, but they over $500 on eBay these days.
I'm not sure if this exact edition will ever see a reprint. I know the colour one-volume hardcover is still available, but they seem to be sticking to the 'limited' nature of this black and white HC. However, even the black and white paperback was supposed to be a limited edition and they changed their minds about that, so there may still be a chance!
@@ftloc I hope there will be a rerelease of the black&white hardcover of Bone and maybe a black&white hardcover of RASL in the near future.
Would have been better if it was created in 2 books instead of just 1, so pages could have been slightly bigger.
You could try and find the original hardcovers in black and white which were full comic sized. But I agree, two volumes (slipcased box set!) for a deluxe hardcover would have been very nice. More than the trim size, the pages could have been thicker.
I think they'd decided to shrink the collection anyway though, there are hundreds of books of that thickness that are bigger. I suppose cost and the final price was their issue.
from where do you buy these comics most of the time ??
These days, general Bookswagon for new books and bookstores/online groups for used. In the past I have used Amazon, ebay, but it all depends on prices and shipping costs.
Can anyone tell me how many colored books are except the 9 books ?
Written by Jeff Smith there's Rose, Tall Tales and Coda. By others there's a couple more, including prose books, I think.
For the Love of Comics And what about the Adventure begins/The Saga continues /the epic conclusion and bone handbook
The Bone Handbook is more of a primer and doesn't have any new comics or stories in it. The other three are collected volume names - Adventure Begins is books 1,2 and 3; Saga Continues is 4,5 and 6 etc.
For the Love of Comics Thank you my friend
Do you remember how much you paid for the Hardcover version in USD? I wonder if there will be a reprint with a Bone cartoon series in the works. Are the pages more of a sepia tone? I love how black & white art stands out on a sepia background.
It's been a long time but I remember I got it for a relative song on eBay, given market prices. The pages, while not sepia, are less than pure white, which, you're right, has a pleasing effect with the black and white art! The original black and white volumes are as hard to get a hold of as this limited edition, though!

Hello there! 😁
......so its black and white?.......would the world explode if I colored it in?...in the right colors of course.
Hahaha, go for it! And do share the results with me
But there's also a one-volume fully coloured edition, if you want to save yourself the pain! 😁
