Girl Genius Omnibus Volume 1: Agatha Awakens by Cheyenne Wright, Phil Foglio, Kaja Foglio, Laurie E. Smith, Brian Snōddy, Mark McNabb
3.0

What a small world.
The quality of the contents far outshone the quality of the book I held in my hand. The binding had a glue failure & was threatening to fall apart.
