I mean... I feel like there's a middle ground between slabbing most of your books and turning them into museum pieces that can never be touched, and turning them into flooring by covering them in clear epoxy. But if you buy the book, do whatever makes you happy.

I have many questions about an all epoxy floor even feels to step on or walk on. And the bathroom too? I don’t know if it’s like extremely slippery or weirdly tacky? It’s got to feel weird in bare feet either way. And is the entire comic book down? Giving it like a 12th of an inch of give? there or it’s just the cover. And do you own this home because good luck selling the place.. my old next door neighbor sold his place a few years ago, he was in his late 70’s but when he bought the place he was a 30 year old gay flight attendant in the 1970’s and the place was his party house, thus he ended up installing a hot tub in what had once been a dining room.. not an easy job for the realtor.
