I have The Complete Calvin & Hobbes its a four volume set. Pretty nice printed on high quality paper. Its pretty short on text though it has a pretty good introduction by Watterson.
I actually like that he just explains his history(in the collection intro) and how he developed C&H and how the two represent parts of his own personality. I like that it did not break down each strip. To me the great thing about C&H is how the reader takes the individual strip.
EDIT: I always get annoyed by those stickers you see with the kid weeing on an automakers emblem. If you recall at one time the kid was an obvious rip off of Calvin(they changed him at some point to look un Calvin I wonder if he sued over the likeness or not
What I'm talking about (if you have one may your tires explode)
