More discount Peanuts, and, umm, Scott Pilgrim

Just found another Peanuts book on the discount list at BN — the hardcover edition of Peanuts Treasury for $5.99. This is in addition to the previously-mentioned Schulz & Peanuts for $2.99 and the Barnes & Noble hardcover edition of Peanuts: The Art of Charles M. Schulz for $6.99, and the Essential Calvin & Hobbes with a Schulz intro for $5.99.

Over at Amazon, there are some other discounts that I hesitate to mention because it seems like by saying it here, I’m saying “if you like Peanuts, then you’ll like Scott Pilgrim“, which is not the case. I like Peanuts and I like Scott Pilgrim but I’ve got a rather broad taste in comics. Anyway, the Scott Pilgrim books are usually like $11.95 a pop, but at the moment all six in the series (it’s completed) are between $3.99 and $4.99 each.
