I didn't see any point in starting a new thread as the two are closely related.  The cousin to The Complete Calvin And Hobbes Collection (3 vol. set, which is still $94.50), The Far Side Collection (2 vol. set) has been steadily declining the last month, and is now down to $73.31 (less than half the retail price).  I bought it on Monday @ $77.16, but thanks to someones previous advice here, I started using PriceProtectr (www.priceprotectr.com), which is free, to track price drops on any Amazon purchases the days following any transaction, so in honoring their 30-day price change refund policy, Amazon refunded me $3.85 today. The set came very thoroughly packaged and looks fantastic.  Here's a link to the Far Side Collection @ Amazon:  http://www.amazon.com/dp/0740721135

I also picked up the Pre-History of The Far Side (an in-depth look at the development and history of this cartoon panel), which is great as well.

On a side note, maybe if DC had a referrer link account on sites like Amazon.com, people could use that when they post links like this, IF THEY CHOSE to.  Would be a non-intrusive way of providing a little extra support to DC.

I too would love to see more information such as this in all thread viewing columns. Great idea.
