About the AAUGH.com Peanuts book collector guide
There have been hundreds of different Peanuts and Peanuts-related books issued since 1952.
This list is an attempt to list all of the books released in the U.S. and English-language
books released elsewhere, with some notes on non-English foreign editions. You'll also find some articles for
the Peaunts fan. The collector's guide divides the list into pages based around what type
of book each is. In some case, this division is a judgment call. If you have a book that's
not on the list that you'd like to tell me about, please see the Frequently
Asked Questions list for information about how to contact me and what information I'll
need. Please note: at this point, I am not tracking coloring books, activity books, or greeting
cards (including multipage greeting cards.)
Do not email me asking how much your books are worth. I do not believe in
setting collectible values.
Pages of this site:
- Primary strip collection grid: This is the handiest page on this
site. It organizes all of the sequential strip reprint series (the little Fawcett Crest books,
Peanuts Parade books, Holt books, Peanuts Collectors Series, Peanuts Treasury, Peanuts
Classics and Andrews & McMeel books) so that you can tell which books reprint
strips from which years, and which books are merely reprints of other books you already
have.

of strips.
