This collection brings together all Calvin and Hobbes strips ever published in this series, spanning over 1400 pages. It also includes a detailed foreword and some new illustrations created by Bill Watterson specifically for this complete edition. While the hardcover version was a true collector's item, weighing in at over 10 kilograms, it was a bit cumbersome. This softcover edition is perfect for those who want to enjoy it comfortably on the sofa without worrying about keeping it pristine, and for those who don't mind if little chocolate fingerprints or large red wine stains reveal just how much they love these books.
