Woah! Good find! I hope you enjoy it! I bought that set for my husband for Christmas for around $90. While he loved it he was a bit disappointed that it didn't contain any bonus materials. Then, I recently found Exploring Calvin and Hobbes : An Exhibition Catalogue. It has interviews with the reclusive Watterson, and has a large section about comics that have inspired him. At the time I'm writing this, it's available on amazon for about $15. I consider it a great companion to the collection you just bought.

Paperback's $59.55 (List price $100). Hardcover's out of stock but it's usually around $99. I'd suggest paperback cos it's easier to open and read. I collected the collections - There's something absolutely gorgeous about Bill Watterson's watercolor covers.

Amazon has used ones for about $5 apiece for the big collection books, seems like a great deal. As seen here.

Otherwise just have her punch book store into google and try a local one, Seattle has a bunch, and they are good at tracking down older books.

You were inspired to copy the picture from the cover of the 10th Anniversary Book? It's a nice copy, but I hope you're not trying to pass it off as original work.

Glad you enjoyed. They did release a companion book to go along with the exhibit if you are interested. It is available on Amazon and elsewhere: https://smile.amazon.com/Exploring-Calvin-Hobbes-Exhibition-Catalogue/dp/1449460364

Just FYI, I believe Half is owned by Amazon, so browsing through Amazon's used books will get you the same sellers. Here are 'very good' condition copies of a good C&H book.

If anyone is wondering, I just did some homework and found out the comic I had never seen was from The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes and you can click through "Look Inside" here to read the whole thing if you haven't before. Because my family already had Yukon Ho! and Weirdos from Another Planet we never got this one.

But that's just expanding on my experience. I'd still love to hear if this has happened to anyone else who fancied themselves pretty well-versed already.

Own it, Love it. Read it every year and still enjoy it as much as when i got it. (Was a Christmas present from my wife a while back.)

I just got my Complete Collection yesterday!!! SOOO EXCITEDDD.

For anyone interested (Soft or Hard covers with a nice forward/Introduction by Bill Watterson): http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Calvin-Hobbes-Bill-Watterson/dp/1449433251

Here! I've got the same one. Really awesome!

This one's pretty cool, too. There was a museum exhibit at Ohio State and this book features a long-form interview with Bill Watterson that covers ground not found in any other books.

After a few minutes of searching i found this. Pretty sure it's the same poster.

Are We Smart Enough To Know How Smart Animals Are?

I have it and the complete far side. Love them both

From Calvin and Hobbes--Sunday Pages 1985-1995, Bill Watterson wrote the following about this strip:

>To an editor, space may be money, but to a cartoonist, space is time. space provides the tempo and rhythm of the strip. Used well, it directs the eye to speed up or linger. The long drawing of Hobbes walking away is a sort of visual brake. It's empty, so the eye rests there and the panel creates a pause.

EDIT: The title of the collection now links to the Amazon page.

Here ya go. I have it and its awesome.

Daaamn, nice find!

I recently got a copy for $75 on Amazon

If you're willing to put in a decent chunk of cash, I'd suggest getting The Complete Calvin and Hobbes Collection. Otherwise, I'd suggest going with "The Essential Calvin and Hobbes." I seem to remember that one being my favorite book growing up.

Back in 2004 someone made an 8-page paperback book of Hamster Huey under the author name "Mabel S. Barr" (in CaH the author of Hamster Huey is Mabel Syrup). It was pretty obviously someone's shameless attempt to make a quick buck piggybacking on CaH's fame.

Just in case you don't check back, he answered my comment with [this] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009D3898U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) link. enjoy!

For the price, you can't go wrong with the whole boxed set. I'm hoping for it for Father's Day this year.

I saw it on sale at a Barnes and noble back in January for around $150 I think? I was going to get it but held out thinking I'd do it some other time. Now it's back up to over $200... I haven't chec... oooo it appears to only be $100 on Amazon if this really is the full set (doesn't show the box view to clarify it) : http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Calvin-Hobbes-v/dp/0740748475/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304095840&sr=8-1

58 bones at amazon.... with free 2 day shipping...

I bought this set, it's pretty boss.

This is the complete set in paper back. It is 50 bucks cheaper than it was in Barnes and Noble last week.

Any good bookstore should have it. Here it is at amazon, where you can get the ISBN with which every bookstore should be able to locate it. Or just order it there.

This was my first Calvin and Hobbes book. I think its a good one to get someone that has never read them into it.

Looks like there's some different options (Used and paperback aren't too pricey!)

You can definitely get it on Amazon. This set was the first time I had ever pre-ordered books.

[This is the one I used] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009D3898U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). If linking commercial stuff goes against any sub rules I'll DM anyone who's interested.

I know I've seen that before. Looks a bit like this one

As a C&H fan I suggest to just invest in the entire set so it's easy to read anytime you wish. I got the hardcover way back when it came out but there is a paperback version now.

I was so depressed when I discovered I'd missed the exhibit. Thank you for describing in detail all of the awesomeness that I will be forever kicking myself for not getting out of Illinois to see for myself. ;-)

BTW - I did order this book which seems to be a consolation buy for me.

I have it, it's totally worth it.

I don't think so, I purchased them from the official Bill Watterson amazon seller.

10th Anniversary Book (Amazon)

Lots of us don't remember it. Probably because we didn't get it at the time.

That's the name of the book

"The Days are Just Packed"

I went looking for yours and I can't find it anywhere but I found this.

The authoritative Calvin and Hobbes.

Yep. With "Indispensable" and
"Exploring" you should have everything as far as I know. And no reason I can see to get paperback when you've got the hardcover.

Someone used the pseudonym "Mabel Barr" to write and publish an authorised version of Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooie.

I'm sorry

My dad introduced me to Calvin and Hobbes, and I got him The Complete Calvin and Hobbes a couple of years ago for Christmas. Every time I'm back home, I read it cover to cover.

I know there is the Lazy Sunday Book which is purely Sunday strips and is entirely color.

I think that's the only one that is entirely colored though. I could be mistaken. But most weren't ever made with color. Newspapers only printed comics in black and white except for the Sunday paper where they would have a larger comic section and print it in color. Watterson didn't make a lot of them in color because there was no reason to.

This I believe is the earliest and where I started.

I then went to this one but I don't know if you can really go wrong starting anywhere...
