Memories of Schulz

Coming in June is Remembering Sparky, a new book put together by David Liverett. This 112 page paperback features reminiscences by 18 people who knew Schulz, generally in the 1940s and 1950s. Expect lots of Church Of God-related material (and some of the cartoons Schulz did for Church Of God publications will be included.)

I don’t think this will be available through the usual sources (the AAUGH.com store included), but I’ll make sure to let you know how to get one once it is available.
