The Doorstop Book of the Year Award goes to Gary Larson, who has released The Complete Far Side, a complete collection of his comics from 1980-1994, plus plenty of extras. My initial thought was "Hasn't he released every single Far Side comic in a book already?" I have a couple of his books, and I received his day-by-day calendars for Christmas regularly, so I would have guessed I'd seen them all. It turns out the book includes 4,000 comics on 1,250 pages, "with more than 1,100 that have never before appeared in a book". That's over 27% "new-to-book" material. Did I mention the $135 list price? That's less than 4c per comic. What a bargain!
