i have "The Essential" & "The Authoritative".. i was lucky enough to find them both at penguin warehouse sales last year for rm10 each...

im currently looking for "The Indispensable" and of course, with enough dough, "The Complete" mega boxset...

its not that hard for you to find C&H in all major bookstores around KL... its just the price

argh...my sis broke my camera!!!

cant post up me collections...

i bought mine last time for below rm50 per book

how much are they selling in KL?

I have the Complete Calvin & Hobbes, lucky enough to find a lone copy sitting on the display shelf at Kinokuniya KLCC.



Also have the complete titles for all Tintin books. I'm starting to collect DC Comic's Absolute Editions of their comics, currently I have the "Absolute Dark Knight The Long Halloween", "Absolute Kingdom Come" and "Absolute Watchment".

Wow...how much is that set?

haha , long time didnt read this comic edi .

RM600.

I will have to, however, find a book binder, the pages are not sewn into the spine, it is glued to it. Sewn pages can withstand being handled more robustly rather than glued-onto pages.

This is a coffee-table book, not something you'd peruse over while holding on to its spine, it is heavy. It is meant, as per that picture, to be pored over while being opened on a sturdy surface. The additional point of having to be careful while opening these volumes since the pages are fragile, for its size and dimension, makes perusing them like archaeologist opening a fragile papyrus document. Not that fragile, but you get what I mean.

i still re read it sometime...its juz so hilarious...lol...i prefer the older versions of C&H...i find the humor funnier than the newer comics...

yeah , my favorites comic when i was kid ~

very like it !

For something of its size, the Complete Calvin & Hobbes should have its pages sewn-in. The thicker the stacking on the spine is, the more possibilities of the pages coming off the spine if it is just glued on. Sigh....

was weird too...i think its the publishers problem...write a complaint letter to watterson ahahah

Wow... you bought that? I have been eyeing the one I saw in MPH early last year.... but then it was RM500++ (forgot exact price) It's in my wishlist.. But sad to hear the binding is bad... need to reconsider...

I have a few volumes I collected in my secondary school... but never complete the collection coz... $$$!!
I so love the snowmen collection!! Calvin is so "creative" with his snowmen creation that I can't help laughing!

hahaha yeah...i loved a particular frame where calvin made a few snowman in front of his dads car...like an accident hahah...

I think I have a copy of C & H lying around. I'll let you have it if I get around spring cleaning my room

RM500++ indeed. It was RM599.

The binding isn't that disastrous, provided you treat it as a coffee-table read kinda material. Peruse, and then store it back inside its box. The tightness of the box helps fixating the pages back to the spine. It is not ideal, a sewn page is still preferred IMO.

I picked up C&H late in its lifetime, in fact I pick up reading it after its final strip drawn at the end of 1995.

Calvin & Hobbes! Ah!! My favourite character. Sigh, nothing beats a day of stressful work to get home and then read some C & H.

I have 3 of the books, don't remember what its called though. Wishing to get more, I grab any that I see that are selling below market price at anywhere I see it.

Oh hey i stumbled upon this! I'm a great admirer of Bill Watterson's work too!
What bummed me was albeit there are many books, fair part of it are repeats hence I didn't buy all the books, I tried buying those that didn't have too much of repeats.

I have to double check my library, off the top of my head it would be

Authoritative
10th Anniversary
Essential
Revenge of the babysat
SOmething about things going boink at night (cant remember)

I think I saw this in Borders too. The Gardens outlet. Didn't check the price though but it was at the bargain corner.

"I think I saw this in Borders too. The Gardens outlet. Didn't check the price though but it was at the bargain corner. "

I called up Borders in Garden... they no longer have it... out of stock.. So don't have unless call each different branch to check.

Anyway, I noticed Amazon.co.uk is having 30% off for it.. if you have friends there, you can get it. After conversion is cheaper than RM600 here.

Amazon.com is selling it at USD90 if I recalled correctly.. after discount.
