![]() But despite their giddiness at being re-united, they know there is no escaping the present. ![]() The ex-cheerleaders have been drawn here by their shared past-a collective nostalgia for their days on the sidelines, their moment in the spotlight. “It’s awesome to get re-united with my cheer sisters, as we like to say,” gushes Jennifer Hathaway, a former Atlanta Falconette whose eyes are dusted with sparkly shadow. There are sparkles on dresses, sparkles on earrings, sparkles on stilettos. (“When they walk in, you can just tell,” says one alumna.)

![]() ![]() Use a measuring tape to make sure all panels are even and level. For connecting panels at the corners, be sure to use extra reinforcement and support. If the panels are not pre-assembled, use a post driver and sledgehammer to join them together. Start by sliding them into position before securing them with fasteners or anchors. Once all of the posts are in place, it’s time to connect the panels. Repeat this process for all posts that you’ll be using to construct your safety fence.

A pumpkin carved with an image of your dog or cat will last the whole season. Unless you create a more lasting Halloween decoration that puts your pet front and center. A walk around the block as Bark Vader, a visit to your best friend dressed as Olaf, maybe a pet parade looking like Wonder Woman … It takes an hour or two, and you're done showing off for the season. While dressing your pet in an adorable costume this Halloween will be tons of fun, it only lasts so long. I was at an auction featuring a lot of these and many went for at or close to "retail" value, meaning $100+ per volume. A shelf full of EP signed/limiteds would certainly not be the worst "book collection" I've seen. From a purist and potential appreciation standpoint, trade edition firsts would still be preferred by most, but as I stated, you do you. So these editions will check two boxes: looks good on shelf, and has collectible value. And also pretty much any signed/limited EP title means a first trade edition (unsigned) of that book sells for more (most often a LOT more, meaning out of range for most). Contrary to what I said before, these can/do appreciate. So as others have said 200 bucks is a lot, so my baseline assumption is that it's a signed/limited. I don't think either of them have done full leather, but they do often do quarter leather (the spine will be leather, the rest cloth). Arion Press is another that produces books on the same level as Folio Society's LE's. Most of the textblocks from LEC are what Easton Press uses, they just wrap their leather around it. You might also look at older books from the Limited Editions Club (or their unlimited run imprint Heritage Press). The normal catalogue are still great quality for the price, however, and are usually $100 or under. The more expensive are their limited edition titles which are top of the line quality. They have a mid-range and a high-range line. Or, if it doesn't have to be leather, there's Folio Society. I would check Etsy and Kickstarter pages unless you find a really niche publisher that fits your interests (like Subterranean or Centipede Press, though again I don't think they often do leather). ![]() The point is, real leather is not mass-marketable, and there is no big obvious source of them like Easton or Franklin. It's almost impossible to get recently-published books with these bindings, and often if it happens at all an author will do a kickstarter to print a few hundred copies that way. A lot of 'real leather' bindings are going to be $400 and up, because it's not just the material, but the title and number of people who want that material. If the quality of the binding matters to you, save up for more expensive purchases of your favorite titles from smaller fine binding publishers. If you just want a shelf that looks nice and you don't care about advertising the quality, get any brand that looks nice. Hell I hold onto some Reader's Digest hardcover editions just because they're such a good size for reading that's more important to me than looks. Other than that, I wouldn't personally try to fill a shelf with them. The real selling point for EP for me are when they print a recently-published book, for example for their signed science-fiction series. Eastons are not worth $200 by the way some of their rarer titles and editions go for that, but the vast majority are available for $20-50 on ebay or abe if you keep looking. Eastons are at least eminently readable and fit nicely in your hands. ![]() If you still expect to read these books, don't get oversized or small print/thin page omnibuses like B&N puts out. (The slipcase leading edges are concave so you can grasp the book to draw it from the case).Īsk why you want it in the first place. As others have said Folio Society also makes very aesthetically pleasing books that are cloth-bound in brand-specific slipcases. ![]() The first mantra of collecting is "collect what you love". The B&N editions are targeting that consumer: Looking for aesthetic value, don't want to pay EP prices.īut if that's your thing, then you do you. The main reason they are popular is they "look good on a shelf". Essentially you are paying $50-60 for a book that will be worth pretty much the same in 10 or 20 years. Easton press is much better, but they only just hold their value. ![]() There's a reason they sell at the price point they do. The B&N volumes will hold next to no value over time, because of their quality.

Zero-coupon bonds do not pay interest directly. Coupon interest payments occur at predetermined intervals, usually annually or semi-annually. With coupon bonds, lenders base coupon interest payments on a percentage of the face value. Two common bond types are coupon and zero-coupon bonds. Face value denotes the amount received at maturity. The face, or par value of a bond, is the amount paid by the issuer (borrower) when the bond matures, assuming the borrower doesn't default. Technically, bonds operate differently from more conventional loans in that borrowers make a predetermined payment at maturity. This kind of loan is rarely made except in the form of bonds. Bond: Predetermined Lump Sum Paid at Loan Maturity Some loans, such as balloon loans, can also have smaller routine payments during their lifetimes, but this calculation only works for loans with a single payment of all principal and interest due at maturity. Unlike the first calculation, which is amortized with payments spread uniformly over their lifetimes, these loans have a single, large lump sum due at maturity. Many commercial loans or short-term loans are in this category. Instead of using this Loan Calculator, it may be more useful to use any of the following for each specific need: Mortgage Calculatorĭeferred Payment Loan: Single Lump Sum Due at Loan Maturity Below are links to calculators related to loans that fall under this category, which can provide more information or allow specific calculations involving each type of loan. The word "loan" will probably refer to this type in everyday conversation, not the type in the second or third calculation. Some of the most familiar amortized loans include mortgages, car loans, student loans, and personal loans. Routine payments are made on principal and interest until the loan reaches maturity (is entirely paid off). Many consumer loans fall into this category of loans that have regular payments that are amortized uniformly over their lifetime. Amortized Loan: Fixed Amount Paid Periodically Such sites are assuredly not for all, as most would consider them to be simply too extreme. Sure, they are, but only to the right dude in search of novel experiences, even though these might be as disgusting as fresh sin.
