I love the omnibus editions so, so much. I just wish they came out in manga I was collecting before I started the single edition collections because, of course, now OCD forbids me to have half and half. However CLAMP's Clover omnibus was sheer brilliance (was dying to read that for a really long time). I still gaze at it lovingly after owning it for several months and having read it twice (so far). Also, no shortage on beautiful colored art pages. I'm all for as much manga at once as possible -as I tend to eat them up before I even get them home half the time- and saving money. Times are tough and this isn't the 90's, enough of this dripping of awesomeness from Japan and charging us mega****tons for it, gimme!
Something that needs a serious omnibus release before I explode is a reprinting of Sailor Moon. It's seriously that time.
(Sorry for the rant, I'm all about the omnibus!)

My beed with omnibus editions is that they can wear out rather fast.
DarkHorse did and excellent job with the Gunsmith Cats Omnibus Editions but Tokyopop on the other hand went the cheapskate way with their Shonan Junai Gumi Omnibuses.Youll notice some wrinkles on the backside of the book after reading ONCE.And I am reading my Manga carefully to avoid those
I actually wonder what Omnibus means across the pond but over here its the long word for bus ^^;

I'm not sure I care either way, though I usually tend to pick up the single volumes as they are easier to put in my purse so I can just bust it out while I'm waiting at the doc's office or something to that effect.
I agree with DopeFaerie on the Sailor Moon comment, though. There is just *so many volumes* it would be nutty to not have it in an omnibus format. I have a single box still in my parents basement (800 miles away) with tons and tons of single Sailor Moon volumes.

I guess it depends on the particular volume for me. I'd prefer to have hardback Omniboo since they can stand more abuse being tossed around in a backpack or flight bag. On top of that, I like to have Omniboo whenever possible so I can use the single volumes as loaners.
Also: Imagine 20th Century Boys in Omnibus format. I'll wait while you clean yourself up.
Also Also: misspelling of omnibus (plural) is intentional.
