More Peanuts for America

The new editions of Peanuts and More Peanuts, the first two Peanuts books, which are coming from UK publisher Titan are now listed at Amazon. Now, there’s a chance this will be like the Australian Classic Treasury (which Amazon unsurprisingly did not deliver to me but still claims they’re going to try), and these books will never ship to the US. Or it may be that Titan got the US distribution rights for this; they’ve released books in the US before.

The images that Amazon is currently showing for these books are reproductions of the covers of the original editions… to the degree that Peanuts still lists the original publisher. I suspect that will change before the book is published
