The Complete Eightball is an incredible, beautiful book, and it does a great job of reproducing the reading experience of the issues. I do love this collection, it's a special object. I read the original stories in issue form and I don't think I have ever seen a collected edition that did a better job of simulating that feeling.
One thing to keep in mind that the Complete Eightball is issues 1-18, basically "Ghost World" and "Like a Velvet Glove" plus the short stories additional materials... So major stories (what I would in general consider some of Clowes' best work) like "David Boring" and "The Death-Ray" and "Ice Haven" are collected separately as graphic novels.
