I just received this set yesterday and it is just as sturdy as the others. I can't believe my collection is almost complete. This is a great collection for all fans of the strip and I, for one, am proud to own them. Beautifully done as always.Now for the good part. Fans of the collection have been curious as to what is going to happen with the final volume. Will it have a case or not? A few months ago I contacted the publishers about this and was told that there will indeed be a 26th volume and final box set next year. However, there has been no official word yet from the publishers so this morning I contacted again concerning the same matter and was told once again that there will be a 26th volume. This time I was given a bit more info as well. Here was there response:(Cut and pasted)Due to collector demands we're publishing a 26th volume of material yet to be determined and there will be a boxed set for 25 & 26 at the end of 2016.Our pr dept. gave me this bit of information that will be apart of promotion starting next year. "Complete Peanuts fans: although the strip has been collected, we have one more volume up our sleeve for next fall, collecting a treasure trove of Schulz rarities, from his initial Peanuts pitch packet, to several comic book stories, advertising art, two major, never-before published interviews, and many other surprises!"
Another superb edition, in a wonderful slipcase! Schulz was able to maintain his quality right through his later years.I am certain that there are many collectors who have purchased every one of the slipcased editions and display them proudly. But the announcement that Fantagraphics will publish the final book (Volume 25) in this series without a slipcase leaves me greatly disappointed. Will it just be an appendage on your shelf of 12 slipcased sets? This is hard to believe. I hope Fantagraphics will provide a slipcase for the final volume. They are a company for collectors, after all. I will write to them, and I hope others will as well.
If you are a long time Peanuts fan like I am you should love this collection. It is also beneficial to wait and purchase the gift boxes with four years at a time. My purchase was for the purpose of it being a gift for another Peanuts fan.
I adore Peanuts and am so thankful that this collection was published, BUT I ordered these volumes a couple of months ago and just finished THEM since I wanted to read them in order. Vol. for 1997 is defective & I am furious that I cannot have it replaced since I waited too long. Many of the strips are repeats from 8-10 years previous. Some are individual strips such as the June 6 D-Day commemoration but there are more serious problems. Much of Dec. 1997 is a repeat. If you do order this set, open to 12-2-97 right away. If there is a week's worth of strips about Charlie Brown wanting to buy Peggy Jean a pair of mittens for Christmas, you have a defective copy. Return it while you can
We're getting down to the end, and there's no let-up....Mr. Schultz's artistry never lets up. If you haven't been getting the Peanuts books, you should correct that IMMEDIATELY!!. What an amazing Christmas gift for the Peanuts fan - any or all volume(s) in the series. I recommend them all.
I am glad I began buying these in the slipcase sets. Helps manage them. This is a very strong set. I feel the 1980's strips though good were not quite as often at the peak and I have been pleased to see the quality rise again throughout the 1990's. I still love the frantic, angry desperate strips of the 50's and 60's best but these have more of a lovely bitter sweet quality and gentle surrealism. It was a mark of his artistry that Schulz evolved the strip constantly. If new to these collections start at about 1954 if you've been collecting awhile these will not disappoint.
Super! What can you say about Peanuts except all of the characters are lovable? I have all of this series from 1950 to this one. There is only one set left and I can't wait to get it, too. I never get tired of reading these cartoons, all printed in sequence as they appeared day by day How could anyone not love these books protected in slipcases as they are. By all means get them!
It's almost impossible to add something new to all what is written about Schullz so, besides the fact that this wonderful world of creativity is one of the best ways of entertainment I would like to talk about the awesome Project to deliver ALL the Peanuts strips to us in such a marvelous way. This is the twelfth (double) volume of Fantagraphics, meaning there's only 2 years (one book) to complete it all at my home. I wish keeps the good work: package, deliverance, interface, everything is perfect. - I only wish the currency nowadays could be better...
