Calvin & Hobbes is still my all time favorite and this is a great set. Just buy it, well worth it, especially at this price.

@funkadelic78: The bird comic is absolute genius! I loved reading these when I was a kid! So great.

Free shipping does not apply to this item at Barnes and Noble due to size/weight of item. So sayeth Barnes and Noble half-way through checkout.

And at least for me, they charge sales tax, whereas Amazon does not.

But -- Code "R7V9J9N" for 20% off with Visa card worked for me -- so I ended up getting it at B&N.com for $71.00 including tax and shipping.

@melanie378: no free shipping. Code wasn't for $5 off either, just $3.75.

@davgig: That's because she said 5% and not $5. So that sounds about right.

69.38 for me. Not bad. Always wanted all these.

:Edit: That is after using the coupon on B&N, forgot to mention that.

From reviews on Amazon, this collection seems to be cheaply bound with glue instead of threaded into the spine like high quality hardcover books. A lot of people have complained about pages falling out. In addition, these things are massive tomes and not that easy to read casually.

One of the Amazon reviews pointed out that you could buy 8 books and get all the strips in an easier-to-read format with less fragile binding and a little bit of content not found in the "Complete" collection, for about the same price, which is what I think I'm going to do.

The list of those 8 books can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Calvin_and_Hobbes_books

@geniekid: Thanks for the advice! I bought the 8 separate books from B&N with the 5% off code listed above and it came to $65.97 with free shipping.

@davgig: the code was for 5% off not $5 off and sorry about the shipping

@angeblah: the code works with a visa card. unfortunately can't use both codes to reduce price further. should be about $70 with the R7V9J9N code and a visa card.
