Happiness Is… an old cover design

It looks as though the upcoming Cider Mill Press rereleases of the old Determined Productions saying-and-picture books will sport the original cover designs as well.

Now shipping: A Peanuts Valentine, a novelty storybook with envelopes to open and interesting valentines to take out.

So if you’re wondering what to buy that Amazon gift certificate you got as a present, hey, Peanuts books! (Or maybe a discount psuedo-Segway, a Grammy-nominated tribute album of the songs of TV’s Mister Rogers or a box of stink bombs with free itching powder!)

Happy 2006, everyone!
