Summary: More than a book set ... an event!
Comment: I first saw this book series at a local bookstore. I've never seen a release attract the attention and outright giggles of glee from shoppers like I've seen from this. It's an absolutely beautiful set, extremely well produced on large high quality paper and hardbound, like a great coffee table book, and the ultimate collectible for any Larson fan. An excellent high-quality present.

Summary: LOVE LARSON BY THE POUND!!!!
Comment: I remember the very first Larson cartoon I ever saw; it was "The Holsteins visit the Grand Canyon" and showed 4 Holsteins with their backs to the Grand Canyon, mother, father, sister and brother and the brother, who had his hoof behind his sister's head...pure joy! Larson's world is our own, we feel an immediate kinship with his magical POV on everyday things, and immerse ourselves in delight at his keen eye and ability to tell a story in a (deceptively!)simple line drawing. This humor is the pure, unadulterated joy you had as a child, and haven't quite forgotten yet. Bobbing for Poodles (changed from Bobbing for Babies!) and the alligators resting on the bank of the lake having just consumed an unwary swimmer...the dog hiding behind the washing machine and the wall, with his "CAT FUD" signs leading the family cat right into his trap...saying "Oh please, oh please..." The hunter with his enormous, oversized head walking right into a headhunters tribe in the remote jungle of Larson Land...the snake on the chair in his living room, a huge pig, half consumed, sticking out of his mouth, and the phone ringing...and the caption: "DANG"...etc., etc. No matter how many times you see the cartoons, you enjoy them just as much the subsequent times; they actually hold up over time/repeated viewings, they are that good. You marvel at the genius of someone who can take ordinary things and turn them into such hilarious, universal jokes. Everyone appreciates them; (everyone with any sense of humor, that is...)and somehow you could never get enough Larson...until now. I am luxuriating in the perusing of these weighty books, and I know, that when I finish them, I will start all over again at the beginning...and hope there will be enough material, someday, for a Larson 2, just as weighty. The quality is astonishing, and I am quite a bibliophile, fortunate enough to be blessed with a large number of books, but have never seen any quite like this, or of this quality. Extraordinary. The pages are beautiful, as is the binding, and the color and text are showcased as never before; this is the ultimate gift for any Larson fan. I have, so far, ordered two, and am about to order a third; the UPS driver has been glaring at me with undisguised hatred in his eyes, yet I must have extra copies for those friends and relatives who share my enthusiasm for this incredibly gifted artist and his quirky, marvelous vision of the world. With all due apologies to the UPS guy, Larson, you are the best!

Summary: But you have to have this...
Comment: 14.25" high & 10" deep. About the weight of a cement block. Each, for the two of them. Why can't people make books that fit on bookshelves anymore? But you know you have to have the complete Far Side, right? Some day it'll be out of print, just like the Pogos drawn and written by Walt Kelly. (No, I don't mean the fake Walt Kelly's Original Pogo his greedy kids licensed, "original" as in Original Swiss Army Knife, a new knockoff not to be confused with Victorinox, which is the original maker of Swiss Army knives. But I flame.) The page stock is quite heavy, and the color pages look absolutely magnificent. To an untrained eye such as mine, the binding looks unusually good. Buy it, you silly person!
