Does anyone have any good ways of storing game manuals so they can be looked at?  I would like to be able to go through and see the ones I have and not just have them all in a box somewhere but I havent thought of a good way to do it yet. Any thoughts?

The binders also work well for overlays.

Yes they do. You get the 9 card holder sheets like for trading cards.

Some of the manuals (NES, DS, GBA, ect...) fit nicely in protector sheets for post cards.  They look just like the pages for trading cards, except there are 4 slots per page.  You can usually get them at a sports card store.  That's where I get mine.

That's what I have all my Game Boy manuals in.

Agreed on the Sports Card Shops, they will have card sheets in several sizes.

Since Den posted I can say now this if why collecting CIB games is best since you dont have to spend more money on ways to display/keep manuals. Right buddy?

Anyone have any photos of their manuals in a binder?

I considered doing this, but I keep my manuals in alphabetical order. I would hate to have to re-arrange everything anytime I got a new manual.

I tried putting my NES manuals in a binder using 4X6 photo sheets.  If you give it a try, make sure you get the sheets that open on the INNER SIDE, the one closest to the 3 rings.  The first sheets I bought opened on the top and the manuals fell out constantly.

I know you're just razzing Den, but common be realistic. CIB will at least double the cost of your items in most cases. I'm quite confident it would be cheaper to buy a binder with some plastic sheets than all that cardboard.

I don't display them. I keep them in an acid-free photo box. Light = bad.

I have my SMB3 manual just standing up by itself on my shelf, but that bends the bottom of it down. It's a nice display though!
Incidentally, how exactly do you display a binder full of manuals? Just make one page and tack the binder to the wall?

You display the binder, and flip through it. Just have a fancy cover.
For instance, you could paint the binder to look like the console it's holding the manuals for...
