I have owned a box for years and can prove its quality. The comics are printed on thick art paper, bound well. A fair warning, though: high-quality materials make these books very heavy. Put all three books in a sliding box and you have a 22 pounds worth of comics, so each book weighs about 7.3 pounds.

As mentioned earlier, the paperback version is slightly more expensive than the current hardcover version. And since this is the price for sale recently, we recommend waiting for a bigger discount if you want this version. For reference, the paperback set is $74.63 on July’s prime day.
The paperback has 1,456 pages, but the full run is distributed in four volumes rather than three volumes. If you are buying the series for younger readers, this may be a better option. While the entire box set still weighs 17.75 pounds, each book is about 4.3 pounds. Moreover, with more than 100 pages per volume, these pages are easier to hold for children and adults with smaller hands.
The slider features different illustrations from Calvin and Hobbes, but is also well known.

According to Amazon at least, Calvin and Hobbes recommend that children aged 10 and older use it, which makes sense in some ways. When I just learned how to read like kindergarten, I read Calvin and Hobbs, and many other long-time fans probably did it too. For early readers, this is not something that is inappropriate, but that it is mostly wisdom that makes Calvin and Hobbes so good. Smart and social commentary can make young readers fly over. When I became an adult, I received even greater appreciation for Calvin and Hobbes.
Adults who love Calvin and Hobbes should consider joining Bill Watterson's latest work The Orghties, as hardcover is only $7.63 On Amazon. These mysteries are no different from Calvin and Hobbes, but it is an interesting illustration allegory for adult readers.
