Coming in November is a book with genuine Charles Schulz Peanuts Christmas stories that most of you have never read before.

Charlie Brown’s Christmas Stocking is a book that I’m putting together to be published by Fantagraphics, the folks who publish The Complete Peanuts. It features two Christmas stories that Schulz did for women’s magazines in the 1960s – “Charlie Brown’s Christmas Stocking” originally appeared in Good Housekeeping, “The Christmas Story” in Women’s Day. The closest they’ve been to seeing print during the past 40-some years is that the original art for one panel of “Stocking” appears in The Peanuts Collection. We’re taking that material and arranging it into a nice little storybook, a 56 page hardcover for the oh-so-affordable cover price of $6.99. Better yet, at the moment it’s part of Amazon’s 4-for-3 promotion… buy four things from the promotion, and the cheapest one is free. What’s the best way to get the most value from this? Buy four copies of the same book! You have at least three friends, don’t you? No? Well then, think of how easy it will be to make a friend when you give them a nice little hardback book of Peanuts stories! Go preorder four!

(Is it good stuff? I think so. But I’m not an unbiased observer in this case, obviously.)
