Wonderful! August 14, 2008
Beautifully bound and printed version of the greatest cartoon of all time. I love the letters various readers have sent in - they provide the perfect commentary to Larson's spins on life. Priceless.

I don't really have much to add to the other reviews. This is a fantastic collection and lots of fun. It is indeed substantial and requires a table or desk to sit at while reading, not to mention a sturdy shelf or bookcase in which to keep it. 60 is a lot of money to spend, but I think that over the course of several years, this collection will bring a lot of pleasure, entirely justifying the price. Just don't drop it on your toes.
ABSOLUTELY NO COWS WERE HARMED IN PRINTING THIS MASTERPIECE!, October 25, 2007

Where BILL WATTERSON is philosophical and whimsical, GARRY LARSON is absurdly surprising and devilishly creative! He will come at your funny bone from all directions - including the ones you knew not they existed.
I remember ordering his large sized collections one by one from the Book-Of-The-Month-Club and then laughing out loud all weekend!
Animals and humans never have existed so harmoniously. This is the universe of the absurd, the weird, the what-if, the I-know-this-is-not-possible-but-then-why-does-it-feel-so-familiar?
Own all his cartoons in 2 beautifully bound volumes.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Beautiful, the best way to view Gary's masterpieces October 8, 2007

If you even suspect you know a Gary Larson fan (and who Isn't) this is the PERFECT gift, and If You are that fan you owe it to yourself to order this beautiful, comprehensive collection.
The fact that the Far Side books I leant and never got back over the years gave me the excuse to treat myself.
The quality of binding, paper and printing are just superb,I have to say it is the best way to view Gary's masterpieces.

when gary larson 1st appeared it was with a sigh of relief from all who mourned the sad passing of the truly inspired chas addams.Larson effortlessly stepped into those too long vacated shoes.
this collection is a superb roundup of some of the finest subversive, perverse & downright odd humour this self righteous planet has ever seen. cows plotting mans downfall,neanderthal mans greatest cock-ups,evil rhino's,what dog's are actually saying & sarky wildlife are just the tip of this wildly spinning iceberg.
you'll not tire of returning to them time & again and with this beautifully presented boxset,you'll be laughing your head off in real style & with amazons generous reduction what else are you waiting for? If you've not seen larson before then get stuck in here you lucky lucky person!its worth every last penny.
