I have been reading this series since the early 90s. The Omnibus covers the 1st 3 Volumes of the acclaimed series. The format is slightly larger than the normal single volume mangas you may purchase. The 1st few pages are glossy and colored [excellently done might I add]. The remainder of the pages in the book are standard black/white. The major difference I noticed is the paper quality is thicker/heavier than the typical single volume. The artwork really shines on these pages, and while the mangaka's earlier artwork isn't necessarily as refined as his later volumes, it does not detract from the story. The binding is excellent; I can open the book wide and read all of it. The packaging was excellent [after a number of emails to Amazon about their packaging, it seems their shipping department is paying attention in packing paperback books with sturdy materials]. If you're getting this book, chances are you're already a fan of the series. Given that the 1st Omnibus price is almost 50% off at the time of this review I would recommend buying it. If you've got a nice collection of the other trades, then it's up to you though. While I have been reading manga for years, this is my 1st ever manga purchase and the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the tome is great. Kudos to DarkHorse for re-releasing the recently finished series in these Omnibus style books. For new readers, this series is best enjoyed a little at a time, and NOT to be read through voraciously; some of the later chapters do feel a little drawn out, but there's drama, comedy, romance, cute-ness, and slice of life in the series. There is some action but that takes a back seat to the real meat of the story: The Characters. Now all we need is for Berserk to receive the Omnibus treatment. Happy Reading!
Edit: I erroneously stated that the 1st few pages are glossy and colored; this is incorrect; The 1st few pages of EACH Volume [that is, the 3 present in this omnibus] are glossy and colored. An even better surprise once I got to them.
