A foreign view of Schulz’s America

As a publisher, I’m being made happy by this article on the new French edition of Schulz’s Youth, which looks at this collection of Schulz’s Christian youth cartoons as window onto American religiosity. It’s an interesting outsider perspective on the work, and I look forward to seeing the response to this new French edition, as well as the new Italian edition.

Of course, the English version is still available, both as a book and a download for your Kindle. And if you or someone you love doesn’t have a Kindle yet, Amazon is offering free two-day shipping on Kindles, so you can have them on time for kindlemas (when Kris Kindle brings the presents, naturally). My dad just got one for my stepmother – its resizable text means that any downloadable text is automatically turned into a large print book for her.
