I had all the Calvin and Hobbes books and I loved them. The only problem with the individual books was that a lot of the strips repeated in other books of his. This boxed set is printed on heavy paper, the coloring is great and best of all, the strips are in order. I now know exactly when Spaceman Spiff appeared in the comic strips. The same thing with The Evil Babysitter or Mo, the bully. It's all there, and in order. Mr. Watterson has also included many of his new watercolor pictures of Calvin & Hobbes. I would recommend this set of books to anyone who loves this great comic stripe.
