More on that 60th Anniversary book

We’ve got some more details on the Peanuts 60th anniversary book I’ve been posting about lately:

  • That’s what the publisher is calling it at the moment – The Peanuts 60th Anniverary Book. Nothing about “celebrating”, a term which only shows up on the Amazon listing.
  • The size is 9.5″ x 12.5″, 544 pages.
  • The book is organized by character, with lots of commentary and interesting items from the Schulz Museum archives.
  • The publisher is saying Schulz was “the hand and heard behind 50 years of Peanuts” — yes, “heard”. Presumably, they mean “heart”. Or maybe “herd”.
