Complete Peanuts 1987-1988 now preorderable

Now available for preorder is The Complete Peanuts volume 19: 1987-1988. The book can now be ordered at full list price of $28.99 – which is a good thing. Why? Because in my experience with Amazon, if you preorder something that costs more than $25, and the price dips before release, they’ll charge you the lower price (that’s their Pre-Order Price Guarantee)… but still give you the free super-saver shipping that you normally have to buy $25 worth to get. It’s the best of both worlds, so go preorder!
