Peanuts Bargainthology

There is yet another Peanuts book that I cannot offer you through AAUGH.com. This one is a collection of some of the Ready-To-Read series of Peanuts stories for kids. Flying Ace to the Rescue and other Peanuts Stories is a hardcover reprinting the books Snoopy: Flying Ace to the Rescue, Kick the Football, Charlie Brown!, It’s a Home Run, Charlie Brown!, It’s Time for School, Charlie Brown, Friends Forever, Snoopy, and Lucy’s Advice. Check the discounts and remainders pile at your local bookshop.

This book is not a remainder; it’s pretty clearly a book manufactured specifically for those discount piles. The price on it is good: $7.99 for a full-color 190 page hardcover that reprints 6 books, each of which were $3.99 in paperback.

Peanuts Holiday Treasury, announced here earlier, is a similar book: another reprinting of several kids books (although in this case, one you can get through AAUGH.com.) Here’s a first look at the cover design. The book is slated to ship in late September.

And while we’re looking at covers, let’s close out with a recycled cover: art which you may already have on the cover to the 1965 book adaptation of A Charlie Brown Christmas shows up on the upcoming paperback edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas: The Making of a Tradition.

Every Sunday comes around again

Shipping this September (or so they say) is the first volume of the paperback rerelease of Peanuts Every Sunday, the series which reprints the Sunday strips for the entire run of the strip, in color. The solicitation doesn’t appear to have the dimensions on it, so I don’t know if …
