The Library of American Comics has released many beautiful volumes in the last several years, but this new Polly and Her Pals collection, a 12" x 16" hardcover that's the first in what they're calling a series of Champagne Editions, is impressive even by the very high standards set by their other books.

Polly and Her Pals was one of my favorites from the classic Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics. This new collection, the complete color Sunday strips from 1925–1927, with additional earlier material, is astounding.
