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.)

The book will, however, also be coming through the standard book market, and the data should be getting out shortly (and then I’ll be able to provide links.) Interestingly (well, interesting to people like me, not to real human beings), Kaboom’s books are brought to the mass book market by Simon & Schuster, so in a way this is their return to the Peanuts animated adaptations market (S&S used to publish the adaptations, under their Little Simon imprint.)
