Well, first of all I bought my collection from Books2yourDoor delivered through Amazon.
I know Amazon has a terrible track record for delivering books, comics etc but my collection came unscathed thanks to Books2YourDoor packaging the collection in a box, with paper in another box.
I recommend them as sellers for starters.
I don’t think I need to ramble on about the magic of Calvin and Hobbes being a brilliant work of art?
Although there is a long history there that should be read.
Saying that, I have the utter most respect for Watterson never selling out to the big guys for ego or money.
He stayed true to his artistic vision and to love Calvin and Hobbes you don’t need a load of merch, just this set! (I am guilty of buying merchandise, but I just respect Mr.Watterson a lot for his fight) so if you don’t know the history, have an interesting read of it.
Now, this collection is a beautiful heavy set (I went for paperback, it’s cheaper. I may upgrade one day)
The pages are lovely, thick, glossy and the spine of the book is nice and durable.
Putting the books back in the box being paperback and long hasn’t proved tricky yet, so that’s a plus also.
These books can be lay down on a table to be read easily without damaging the integrity of the binding of the books also.
As the title suggests, you get the WHOLE lot in this massive collection.
Sunday’s and Dailies unlike Peanuts that ran for fifty years and you need each yearly book and separate Sundays, this has everything neatly in one package.
It’s a true masterpiece of work and worth the fifty quid I paid.
If you love Calvin and Hobbes, then don’t hesitate.
Same if you love the comics medium.
Recommend!

Too fragile ship in a sturdier box
By Bianca Gonzalez on 17 February 2019
The product itself is ok but came with dents on the box so it doesn't look nice
