Product Description: An Excerpt from Bill Watterson's Introduction:  "Ive loved comic strips as long as I can remember. As a kid, I knew I wanted to be either a cartoonist or an astronaut. The latter was never much of a possibility, as I dont even like riding in elevators. I kept my options open until seventh grade, but when I stopped understanding math and science, my choice was made. There is great personal satisfaction in attending to detail and quality, and I remain very proud of the standards the strip met day after day. I also liked the responsibility of knowing that, succeed or fail, it was all my own doing. This approach kept the strip very honest and personal--everything having to do with Calvin and Hobbes expressed my own ideas, my own values, my own way. I wrote every word, drew every line, and painted every color. Its a rare gift to find such fulfilling work and I tried to show my appreciation by giving the strip everything I had to offer."

excellent product
I think I would not have wanted to know anything. The all experience of buying for the first time a product that I have always wanted was extremly special. I can't say anything else, only that if I had the opportunity I would buy it again

Awesome book for a Calvin and Hobbes fan
Bought this for my son, age 11, who has read and re-read every Calvin and Hobbes book there is. This is a beautiful set that will be a keepsake for him for years.

brilliant!
really enjoyed reading it and was nice to see the complete c&h all in one box set. I've always been a big fan. i like how its printed- almost looks like the strips are stuck on. the only complaints i have is that its too bulky and there are no finger holes in the box to pull the individual books out. nevertheless, i highly recommend it for anyone who has, over the years, enjoyed c&h- its brilliant!

the complete calvin and hobbes
If you have a child, especially a boy, you have to buy this.
If you love good cartooning, you have to buy this ... it is a fantastic blend of six year old boy wisdom and great art.
This will be passed onto my son who has just turned six and I know he will love it.
The presentation is amazing, one of the best books I have ever bought !

RECEIVED A DAMAGED PRODUCT
Product, I already knew about it. Edited blah blah, I can live with it. That's why I ordered.
HOWEVER, a huge dent and a slight rip right in the middle of the slip-cover was not something I expected.
Slight dent around the corner, I can let it go, but this, I was just simply not happy with. It's a heavy book but the problem was that the damage wasn't by the shipping. How do I know? Because the side that was damaged was covered by an extra cardboard which wasn't dented. That means Amazon sent a damaged product in the first place. Box didn't have any damage either. I did not pay $67.50 like everyone else. I actually paid around $100 for it. Shipping to Canada, too. And what did I get? A product that should be categorized as USED product.
I'm not going to bother exchanging the product because I don't want to repack this heavy book and ship it back and wait for another 2 weeks. But this will definitely make me think twice from now on when I shop from Amazon.com.
I loved the book when I was a kid, and I would love to give it a 4 star at least (-1 because of the edit), but I just can't do that because of Amazon. It's a shame.
