Peanuts November 11, 2008
A wonderfully bound book, with a solid cover and sturdy pages. This might seem irrelevant but these two books are for carrying around and reading and re-reading and they will withstand the heavy usage. I love the index in the back, it makes searching for a particular strip easier. And then of course, there is the impeccable quality of the writing and drawing that has never and will never age. an excellent addition to my collection
Simply the best. September 21, 2008

This is my second of these boxed sets of Peanuts. Beautiful packaging & publishing details. No color Sunday strips, of course (they appear in B&W like all the strips); but color would make the editions impractical to print anyway.
Many hours of pure enjoyment ahead: I plan to get all the sets as they come out and am learning a great deal about some favorite characters. A must-have for any true lover of Peanuts.
Love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! July 16, 2008
I love Peanuts it really got good by these years when they put in Peppermint Patty. I love when they talk to the readers like the comic on 2/4/65 when Snoopy was gonna marry his skating girlfriend he said to the readers wish me luck so cute. Great comics great books and a lot of long lost comics and lots of it came from TV. I guess I should have put this review on the Complete Peanuts 1965-1966 but all the years are great. I really do like the Complete Peanuts 1963-1964 a lot because they talk to readers a lot.

For those of us who grew up in the 1960's Peanuts was the paragon of subtle wit and insight into our cultural minds. We could live vicariously in the dancing of Snoopy, his triumphs over the Red Baron, and his material excesses(a house with a Van Gogh, no less). We could sigh along with Charlie Brown, philospophize with Linus, and argue with Lucy. This collection continues the daily progression of the characters as they navigate the turbulent 1960's and gave us all something we could share in common every day in the paper.
Complete 2-book Set : Identical as the books sold separately only cheaper! March 26, 2008

The Complete Peanuts is definitely complete! It's a real collectors' item!
Each book contains 2 complete years of Peanuts - the funniest comic strip of all time (IMHO). So this two-book set contains four complete years of Peanuts - all the strips that were published between 1963-1966.
Note that both books included in the boxed set are exactly the same ones that are sold separately. The books also contain full book jackets (i.e. if desired can be shelved separately). As of this review date it is cheaper to buy the two-book set than to buy them separately at Amazon and we get an added attractive slipcase with the two-book set.
Unfortunately the Sunday strips are in black and white - a minor gripe. However other such comic strip collections (including Calvin and Hobbs) have the Sunday ones in color.
Recommended.
(Note: I have essentially copied my review of the other peanuts sets for this one)
