 A Good Collection Nov 10, 2009
A well put together collection...well packaged and looks good on the shelf...
Now I need to find the time to read all of it!!
Sewn not glued Nov 03, 2009
I just purchased this set to give my family for Christmas. After reading some comments about the bindings being glued, I considered returning the set. When I closely inspected my set, I see they are sewn but the signatures(bundles of pages) are small and there are no head and tail bands. The first and last signatures are also not reinforced -something I think needful in such large heavy books.
Perhaps they changed the bindings after so many duds in the earlier sets.
I purchased McMeel's Far Side set some years ago and that set has stood up well to regular use.
This set is beautiful and I will enjoy introducing my family to one of my favorite comic strips. They will learn that Calvin is not that little urinating urchin depicted on so many car windows.

Calvin & Hobbes is the best Oct 31, 2009
I purchased this for my mother who was very sad when the strip stopped many years ago. I gave it to her yesterday and she loved it! And now I have something great to read when I visit.

The Complete C&H Now Has a Companion Guidebook Oct 18, 2009
It is difficult to add to the marvelous reviews provided here about this unparalleled collection. But now, nearly five years after its publication, there is something new to say. Nevin Martell has recently sent all us Calvin & Hobbes lovers a special gift: Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and His Revolutionary Comic Strip. This book is Martell's beautifully rendered telling of his quest to learn more about Bill Watterson, the brilliant and reclusive creator of the tiger and his boy. If you love C&H enough to buy the complete set, you will want ("need" may be more appropriate here) to read this painstakingly researched and wonderfully written book. Read the few reviews about Martell's book, buy it, read it, and add a review of your own. And consider "recommending" this review so that more C&H fans can learn about this new satisfying read.

If you're into a collectable like this - then Yes. Sep 11, 2009
My son wanted this. He got a lot of cash for his birthday, and reasoned that he should be able to buy something with some of it (we normally put it all in his untouched savings account).
So, we got it for him.
He read it all in about four to five days.
Didn't feel like we got a whole lot for about a hundred bucks, since he read it so fast.
But, it IS a collectable set. Not exactly a bunch of paperback editions, which are more for the casual reader. And we knew exactly what we were doing when we ordered it. It was splurging for the sake of a birthday gift.
If you're not a collector, or not looking to get an uncommon or extra-special gift, then don't get this.
Otherwise.... go for it.
