The Complete Calvin and Hobbes

Anyone else here own this?

Yay, I do.

It features every C&H comic from '85 to '95. Three volumes. Hardcover. MASSIVE.

You all want this, don't you? Well, I'm not letting you have it. ~:>

...hey, the text you enter for the Arrow emoticon is different now.

Yeah, I saw it. It's pretty neat. But I have so many paperbacks already, that I figure more than half of the book would be stuff I already own.

Oooh, sounds nice.

Asking for another complete comic collection may seem a bit much, though. (I got the Complete Far Side last Christmas.) Hmm....

Hehe, I don't have the Complete Calvin and Hobbes, but I have just about every other Calvin and Hobbes comic book. I find that a lot of the Calvin and Hobbes comic books are almost equivalent to other ones.

I've got every other Calvin and Hobbes collection. While the books look awesome, there's no content I don't already have. Still, I irrationally want a set.

I don't have it, but I've probably got most of them in those smaller, paperback books.

I've got all the books already....Wonderful comic strip, though. Bill Watterson actually lived in my town a few blocks away from me when he was writing^^

The thing about this set is that it's printed and bound on really good quality paper. This isn't just a book set to read, it's a book set to cherish. It'll last quite a bit longer then the other books. Just gorgeous really. I worship my fathers copy (and since my brother got his own copy for Christmas, this just means that I get to inherit my dads one day!)

I own most of the other books myself. I think I'll still get it, like you others, however.

It's just too cool to pass up.

I don't have it, but I'd like to get it for my husband as a gift either for his birthday or next Christmas. He has a couple of the paperback books, and I know he'd love to have this.

I'd seen this topic before and thought "ahh but I have most of them anyway"... then I actually looked it up on Amazon.

I am in love with a set of books, and that set of books The Complete Calvin and Hobbes

If I can hold out til May I may beg my mum for this for my birthday. Gorgeous, gorgeous books.

Ooh, sweet. I wasn't aware it existed. I have the three treasuries and a few single books, but that sounds pretty awesome.

Got it last week for my birthday. =)

The collector's edition is cool and good quality, but the thing is, I don't have $100 to spend on it. I'd definitely consider buying it if I had enough money but I'm in no hurry since I have all the paperback books.

I've only seen 2 comic strips of C&H that were in my English books in high school. Other than that, the only Calvin I've seen was the one that is peeing on the back windows of trucks.
