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.

yeah i know

even my "The Indispensible" the binding really sucks...got chunks coming out...zzz...they have some anti acid issues with the papers used for printing...oh well...

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..  wink.gif 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! smile.gif

Hey all,

Fancy spotting this thread..I currently own 2 sets of the complete collection of C & H. I ended up with 2 because of Pos Malaysia. A friend got it from Amazon for me as a gift but it never reached my doorstep. So said friend called Amazon and said that the item was lost, never reached intended recipient. Amazon graciously sent another set posted to me again.

I decided to make quite a hoo-haa at Pos Malaysia who later said they found it at one of their depots. So I collected it and a few days later received the 2nd set. And one book itself is heavy, what more 3 in the box.
