All five of these titles are a dream come true...you can tell that these projects are well-thought-out just from the titles. Especially looking forward to the Dick Briefer and the "Road to Plastic Man." Gonna preorder them all on Amazon -- the best way to show our support! (plus you don't have to pay until they ship) Thanks for sharing the happy news!
