Marvel trade paper backs

I have been wanting to get a few of these. I have age of apocalypse books 1-3. However the Prelude books was printed on newpaper grade paper vs. gloss stock. Not sure if thats right. I was looking for a site that would list them and their page type. I like the gloss pages. the main one I want to know about is magneto rogue nation.

Secondhand Dog. (or how i now have a Shar Pei)

After my last dog had to be put to sleep I said "I'll never get another dog". My neighbors had this Shar pei and it was mean, everytime I'd take the trash out it would bark and growl at me. I tried getting treats to quiet it down and make it recognize that I was not a threat. I don't like to smoke in my house so I go outside and the minute the dog sees me it would start barking. I called her Butt dog and would talk to her while i smoked. She actually gave me a warning bite one time. During the summer last year my son was 2. I'd watch him play out back and have to make sure he didn't get to close to her. I was afraid she'd bite him. The neighbors and i talked quite a bit and during my divorce and they kept an eye on my house for me. In August of last year the neighbors came over and told me they were being evicted. The apartment they found didn't allow pets and they said they were looking for a buyer because the dog was full bred. They asked that since I had my old dogs kennel still if I'd be kind enough to keep the dog for "a little while". I said I'd water her as much as needed and they would come to feed her each night. I noticed after a few weeks that it was getting weird there was one day a pizza box was just thrown in her pen and a few days later a 5 pound bag of dog food was thrown in and a lock was placed on the pen. A lock! I had to call them to take it off. After that it was three days before they came back to feed her i was giving her table scraps. I went and got dog food. after a week of no shows i tried to call, number was disconnected. I wrote them off but still took care of her. I got her used to my son and girlfriend. began walking her just so she could get out of the pen. 2 months later I went out back to smoke and she was loose. I got her gathered up and decided it was time to find her owners. I went to their apartment and The husband told me that they didn't have the money to feed her anymore. So they let her loose, he said she had a 50/50 chance that way. They didn't even talk to me about it, just turned her loose, i was pissed. I told him I was gonna keep her and I needed him to sign her over to me. I wasn't interested in selling her or any of that crap but I wanted to make sure they couldn't profit from her later. My girlfriend and I had discussed before I went there that my son had become attatched to Mia (the dog) and I said I'd keep her if it came up. He signed her over and gave me her akc papers. She took to training quite well and is a house dog now. Cat friendly too! We have 2 cats. I just got done giving her a bath and felt like sharing how she came to be a member of our family.

Balacing Act TPB question.

Ok. i realize this is the TFCC stuff and I have the diamond comics FP books that have been released. But does anyone know if IDW is gonna collect any more of these in a single tpb? I found the whole thing a bit cheesey but i did like it.

the IDW reprints of dreamwave.

My question is did dreamwave ever put out the TF Generation 1 (vol.3) TPB? I think I saw a listing for an IDW reprint of it on amazon once. But I've not been able to find out if either company ever even released it. I'm starting to fill out my TF tpb shelf lol and this would be one I'd love to pick up. Sadly over the years I've not really bought many of them. IDW's stuff is starting to grow on me though.
