For those of you asking "WHAT IS THIS?" I honestly have no idea what this is either. But, I'm willing to make a guess. I think this "assortment" is a set of all of the books in the Far Side collection. I'm curious if it includes the Galleries and the 10th aniversiary book, though. I'm telling you people out there, don't waste your money here. In fact, don't buy any of the books here, unless your very desperate. Heres the secret to getting your hands on all these Far Side books with as little money as possible. Go to used book stores! I found that people turn in a ton of these books, and there usually in perfect condition. You may think your saving money here at Amazon, but back when far side books were first coming out, the list price was $5.95, unlike the $7.95 today. So the $6.36 that Amazon offers doesn't save you that much. Someone jacked up the prices when Larson became popular. Anyway, at used book stores, they will charge you half the list price or sometimes less. I got my hands on some old ones, in great condition, for $2.50 each just recently. BTW I'm talking about the smallest type of Far Side books. Not the Galleries. I've seen them at used book stores too, but I don't recall the prices. I've nearly completed my collection. This is the poerfect strategy to get your hands on any popular newspaper cartoon books. I've nearly completed my collection. You may end up buying a few fresh and new, I did as well. Depending on shipping, I suggest making those desperate buys here. Trust me on this, it will save you big $$ (Don't get me wrong, Amazon is a great place to buy books, but not when your planning on a collection like this.) Good Luck!!

I am a Far Side fan and has almost all the books as long as Amazon sells them.

US$417.00 plus shipping is a lot of money. you can buy every far side book and it does not cost as much? so can someone who owns this tell us WHAT IS IT?

with only one positive review, and no picture referene, I am very skeptical. maybe it has Gary Larson's signature or manuscript or something really expensive.

I like the Far Side, but I refuse to pay 417 dollars for it. What IS this?!?

This is a great deal, because all of the Far Sides together make me laugh more than I ever have before. Gary Larsons wit and humor is just like Jerry Seinfield. It makes you want to get up and write your own book, and it is so funny and humor filled that it can be enjoyed by people of any age. I also reccommend that you buy the Far Side Desk Calendar. $416 dollars is a darn good deal if you ask me!
