Okay, so I haven't bought the book yet, but you better believe I will. I started reading this at work during the slow hours, and I was just freaking amazed out how great it was. I read a lot of web comics, but this one really stood out. The first years are about normal situations, and like any good story-teller Paul (??) finds ways of making you desire the characters, but moreover to desire certain situations and circumstances, like Owen and Shelly; they should totally be together.
Anyway, I wanted to say this rocked and that I really hope it comes out in hardback so I can read it without ruining it. Also, the only reason this is four stars and not five is because I wish he would quit his job and make more strips 24 hours a day. Seriously...

My book arrived very quickly, I'm on a military base in Iraq, and in excellent shape. It was packaged to make the trip very well. I was very happy with the service and the product. I highly reccomend them, and look forward to dealing with them again.
The Keen Spot version of Wapsi Square is a nice little introduction to the Wapsi Square webcomic. It has the begining of the strip, a wacky slice of life strip, that evolves into a more serious plot based story. It only just gets into where it starts to become 'paranormal'. Great characters, wonderful art, and when it's funny, it's really funny. The story is very good and plotlines deeply intertwined from years back to present day. Must be read to belive how far back he was planting seeds of the plot going on today. Highly reccomended.
It also has some very welcome extras of work done by the author and artist, Paul Taylor. It's not a lot, but nice to see some bits of his early work outside of Wapsi Square. For a more complete set of books, try the Lulu Press versions which has the strip from begining to almost present day. Also, highly reccomended.

Nice size package for the comic. Would like to get more volumes. If you like this book, go to [...] and get up to date on the story. Go Monica! Go Wapsi! Go Paul Taylor!!

Wapsi Square is a web based cartoon, which you can follow at [...]. The cartoon is the work of Mr. Paul Taylor, and is a joy to follow - it's the story of a group of friends and the subtle interactions between them. And then there is Dietzel, the smartest dog besides Snoopy. Wapsi Square is subtle, exquisitely drawn, sweet, imaginative, funny, lovable and original.
This book contains a collection of early Wapsi Square cartoons, and a few pages of bonus illustrations where Mr. Taylor shows us various steps in the creative process. My one peeve is that the book could have been thicker, and contained more cartoons. Perhaps Mr. Taylor will consider one day to make yearly collections of his cartoons.
If you're a fan of Wapsi Square, you will enjoy this book - it's a way of holding the characters in your hand, instead of just looking at them on a computer screen. If you are not familiar with Wapsi Square, do yourself a favor and go to the web site: they will put a smile on your face. And then you'll want to get this book.
My one wish is that Mr. Taylor publishes a more prominent volume of this wonderful cartoon, something similar to the format of the Calvin & Hobbes books.
