Random pros on cel books:
- keeps your cels organized and consolidated
- encourages sharing/viewing
- keeps you aware of what you have (assumes it is organized and not just thrown together). hopefully avoiding buying on whim b/c you know what you have
- a good space saver (assumes you flattened the cels properly)
- adds a small layer of protection (assumes archival cel bags were used)
- comparatively inexpensive to buy instead of boxes (see previous thread links about it)
- allows you to separate cels from sketches (adds to organizing). can you tell it is important to be organized in this hobby? ;)
Random cons on cel books:
- doesn't provide full protection
- if air in cel bags are not fully pushed out the books get fat and takes up more space
- if owners do not organize the contents cel books do little to organize
- as your collection grows you will need to buy more books
- as your collection grows you will need to remove and reorganize if you want to keep tabs on what you actually have.
- if you are not organized you will forget to remove cels from cel bags. the cel books do little to help if your cel gets heavily oxidized and/or the acids build up b/c you didn't replace the bags periodically.
Here is just one place we go to buy cel books:
