GARFIELD'S BOOK
These books, generally released twice a year by Ballantine Books, contain reprints of the comic as it appears in newspapers daily. These books were originally printed in black and white, but recent volumes have been in color. Each book collects approximately six months of comics, including the larger weekend comics (in black and white in all except the recent editions).
The titles of these books were styled as double entendres alluding to Garfield’s weight (Note: an extra at the end of a Garfield compilation advertised “rejected book titles”). These books introduced the “Garfield format” in publishing, whereby the books are horizontally oriented to match comic strip dimensions; Davis has recalled having to invent the format in order to better fit the books on store shelves. They are currently being reprinted in a larger format, showing the Sunday strips to be formatted in a size as they usually are, instead of shrunken-down to meet the book size. However, this means that the first panel after the logo box (called the drop panel because newspapers can drop it without ruining the point of the strip) is no longer printed in the compilation books.
Each of books will be re-released in the “Garfield Classics” format. These are available in paperback only, with every comic in full color, not just the Sunday strips. As well as colorization, the page size has also been increased. So far, the first twelve books have been reprinted in this format.
1. Garfield At Large: His First Book (1980) (Comics from June 19, 1978-January 22, 1979)
2. Garfield Gains Weight: His Second Book (1981) (Comics from January 23, 1979-September 22, 1979)

GARFIELD EXTRAS IN BOOKS
In the books, there a numerous 'extras' at the front and/or back. For example, in the 10th Birthday book, the beginning has an extract of a newspaper, stating "JIM DAVIS A FRAUD", with Pooky revealing Garfield has in fact been writing the strips. Garfield states "I hired some hackneyed down-and-out to take the credit.". There was also a bonus strip to fill in the book Garfield Gains Weight, which features a single panel with Garfield holding his face down in front of the TV.
WHO IS GARFIELD ?
Garfield, the world's favorite cat, has begun his very own British Invasion, wreaking havoc on the entire United Kingdom. He's traveled across the pond (with canine sidekick Odie) to surprise his master, Jon Arbuckle (BRECKIN MEYER), who is in London to propose to his girlfriend, veterinarian Liz Wilson (JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT).
Garfield came…he saw…he conquered: Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Scotland Yard and his new favorite dish: minced pie (okay, it's not lasagna, but you can't have everything). As befitting an adventure worthy of a feline phenomenon, Garfield has switched places with Prince, a royal cat who has just inherited a castle. Now the castle is Garfield's – and who's more deserving?

WHERE IS GARFIELD BORN?
Garfield was born in the kitchen of Mama Leoni's Italian Restaurant and developed a taste for lasagna the day he was born. This was revealed on a Garfield TV special called Garfield: His Nine Lives. Ever since then, it has always been his favorite food. At birth, Garfield weighed 5lbs, 6oz. Later in his life, Garfield runs across his Mother again one Christmas Eve, accidentally, and meets his Grandfather for the first time

GARFIELD AND ODIE’S OWNER
Garfield and Odie's owner. His birthday is July 28, 1951, the same date as Jim Davis', but six years later.
He has poor social skills, despite being a nice and patient guy, and his attempts at dating have usually failed, (in more modern issues, he has been getting lots of dates from Liz) but Garfield is happy as long as Jon keeps him fed.
He has a taste in bizarre attire and has several dull hobbies, including talking to his plants, stamp collecting, measuring the growth of his toenails, and organizing his clothes. Basically, Jon was raised as a geek. Not entirely his fault, you discover, when he visits his family or reminisces about 'life on the farm'.
His mother often refers to him as Jonny, and his full name was revealed on December 6, 2001 to be Jonathan Q. Arbuckle, but he usually just goes as Jon. Jim Davis got this name from an old coffee commercial. He thought the name fit the poor sap who would be stuck with a cranky feline with an overactive appetite.

ODIE’S FIRST APPEARANCE
Jon’s pet dog (originally owned by Jon’s friend Lyman). Odie is a yellow, long-eared beagle who is always drooling and walks on all four legs. He is very unintelligent and naïve (although he has been shown on rare occasions to be the exact opposite).

GARFIELD’S SPEND TIME
Early in the strip, Garfield would spend time on the window ledge and sometimes get trapped in the roll-up blinds. One of these events culminated in a two-week storyline in which Garfield, Odie, and Jon all got trapped in the blinds.

GARFIELD LIKE TO SAID BAD JOKES
The fence in the alley is an area where Garfield often tells bad jokes or caterwauls, in an homage to vaudeville with the background moon providing his spotlight. Odie joins the act from time to time, once as a ventriloquist’s dummy, once as “Mr. Skins,” who accompanied Garfield on the drums, and once as a cue card boy. Garfield is frequently the target of disgusted fans (usually unseen), who throw shoes, pie, vegetables, and houseplants, and other things that would hurt, at him, and once burned down his fence with flaming arrows (Garfield’s temporary replacement, a plastic flamingo, just “didn’t feel the same”).

GARFIELD UP THE TREE
Up the tree is another area where Garfield often traps himself. Garfield knows not to climb, but ironically can never overcome the urge ("Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, do cats do these things?" he once lamented).

GARFIELD HATE THE BEACH
The beach can be a sub-setting that falls under a vacation destination, but it is implied that Jon takes Garfield to the local beach. This is yet another hot spot for Jon to try to pick up dates but he always fails.
