I can't even begin to express how much I am enjoying Fantagraphics wonderful Peanuts boxed sets! The "look and feel" elements are both simplistic and elegant (especially the slip case covering). The archival quality paper is sturdy and clear; these books are designed to last! If you have even a vague interest in Peanuts, Schultz, or cartoonist in general these volumes ( at least multiple years) are must buys!

This 'boxed set' contains two volumes of the Fantagraphics Peanuts reprint series (1955-56 and 1957-58) in one handsome slipcase. Daily strips run three to a page with complete black-and-white Sunday strips on one full page. Seth and Fantagraphics have produced an attractive design with paper and binding of a high quality. The dust jackets claim that nearly half of these strips appear in no other book of "Peanuts" reprints. Introductions have been provided by Matt Groening and Jonathan Franzen, respectively.
In 1955 Charles Schultz won his first Reuben Award, considered the top honor for American cartoonists. These strips contain year five to eight of Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Schroeder, Pigpen, Violet, Patty and the rest of the gang and most are still enjoyable 50 years later. These volumes are exactly the same as the individual ones: the boxed set offers the additional slipcase and, based on Amazon's current prices, a $3 discount per book.

My youngest son has spent hours reading the Peanuts books I got from the Weekly Reader Book Club when I was a kid. So for his birthday I bought him this set. He and I have spent many, many very enjoyable hours together reading these volumes out loud. He likes to read Linus, Lucy, and sometimes Snoopy, and I read the rest. It is satisfying to watch my son get as much enjoyment from these strips as I did when I was his age.
I'm sure I'll continue buying these books for him -- and secretly enjoy them as much as he does as we read them together.
