mini Peanuts gift books on the horizon

Running Press is unleashing two more Peanuts books in their line of animated adaptations… well, actually, it looks like it’s more like one new book, and one existing book in a new package.

Now available for preorder: Play It Again, Schroeder, a paperback strip collection.
