Ordering the Warm Blanket graphic novel

If you’re one of those folks who likes to order your books from your comic book store, tell them -now- that you want the graphic novel adaptation of Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown, and tell them that it’s listed in “Previews Plus”, and the code is JAN118101. The shops have less than a week to place their orders (Kaboom is using not the standard solicitation system, but a system used for last-minute additions and adustments.)
