[edit] Earlier books

There are also a number of earlier books, based on sub-selections of the original reprints. Such as Just A French Major From The Bronx, Bravo For Life's Little Ironies, I Have No Son and Don't Ever Change, Boopsie... Where do these go? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gareth Owen (talk • contribs) 13:06, January 26, 2006

I'd put them in the "Other Collections" section, myself - weren't they special printings? --JohnDBuell 17:56, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Don't know. Of the ones I own, "Just a French Major ..." and "Even Revolutionaries Like Chocolate Chip Cookies" say "Selected cartoons from 'Still A Few Bugs In The System'", "... Life's Little Ironies" and "I Have No Son" say "Selected cartoons from 'But This War Had Such Promise'" and "Don't Ever Change Boopsie" is selected from "The President Is A Lot Smarter Than You Think". Physically they resemble the early white-trimmed Bantam Books, but they're published by Popular Library, and they're not quite same size. Oh, and they're only two panel-per-page. Qu'elle rip-off. -- GWO

I'd say either "Other Collections" or make a new category: "Special Collections" or "Special Reprintings" (or even "Reprinted Collections"), since they're not 'annual collections'. --JohnDBuell 18:58, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More info?

Can someone please give more info about these books. I would like to know the dates of the strips contained in each of the annuals. If I wanted to read doonesbury from begining to end, what books would I need to read? Would the anthologies cover it? Or would I need to read the annuals? What about the sunday strips... are all of them included in the annuals? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.119.156.82 (talk • contribs) 01:41, November 14, 2006

I would say this is the first thing that needs to be addressed - each collection needs to reflect the period of comics contained within it. RoyBatty42 02:40, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
