		<description>Well, I&#039;d probably use the book to draw pictures, but I&#039;d use the finished books for something else, like wrapping presents in a Christmas-themed story, or making a comic book cookbook a la &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seriouseats.com/tags/recipes/comics&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Serious Eats&lt;/a&gt;. 

Heck, you could even deconstruct a comic book and create a story &quot;puzzle&quot; by cutting pages up by panel, or a &quot;Mad Lib&quot; comic book where some panels are left empty - both would be fun gifts for kids.</description>

		<description>See, I knew there was more creativity out there! I like &quot;collect the Marvel Stamps&quot; one best. Although the test and control version is funny, too.</description>

		<description>5) Buy a bag of five.  Put one in a polyethylene bag, one in a polypropylene bag, one in mylar, and have one slabbed.  Leave the fifth one out on your desk as a control.  Come back in five years and test for paper deterioration.

6) There is no number six.

7) Read and reread the blank pages until you enter a deep meditative state and become one with the universe.  (All of them.)

8) Make money selling them as Ultra-rare copies of &quot;Crisis on Infinite Earths:  The White Album&quot;.

9) Keep one copy slabbed as a testament to the Eternal Blank Page, and use that as a goad to inspire you to write more.

And finally (?):

10) Muse on the idea of a contest about blank pages as a metaphor for the creative act until your friends insist you stop posting in the comments and &quot;get your own @%*$! blog!&quot;</description>

		<description>While &quot;Sketchbook&quot; and &quot;Notebook&quot; are quite obvious uses, they shouldn&#039;t have been taking out of the running so quickly.

But four interelated uses:

1) A place to store all those Marvel Stamps you cut out of your comics when you were a kid.

2) A scrapbook for the Letters of Comment you have had published.  (Which are now of historical importance since there are no letter columns.)

3) Use it has a foundation for the restoration of your favorite comic book after you have cut out the stamps, the letters page, and read it dogearred out of sheer love for the medium.

4) Take all the pieces of comics too far loved to restore and use them to make your own art book/fumetti comic.</description>
