U of M gets major collection -- of comic books (MinnPost)
There's no debating the logic of donating the comics. They'll be far safer in the high-security, fireproof library. And besides, I keep telling John, books are meant to be read, not sit in our basement. People will be able to study John's books in the Andersen reading room, as long as they leave their packs outside, use only a pencil or a computer to take notes, and wear white cotton gloves while handling them. That's a far cry from the days when my son read his copies in the bathtub. -Judith Yates Borger
[I also consider having my collection donated to a university library when its time comes, but I imagine that will span more than one and a half five-shelf bookcases then. I believe a great retirement plan for me in the future is owning and running a comics shop after spending most of my life as a college English professor. I am currently 27. BK]

That's a great idea--when you donate your collection it'll probably be big enough for it to have its own name and reading room: The Kuechenmeister Reading Room. That alone would be "swuh-EET"!!!
