Happiness is an Expensive Puppy

If you want to spend a lot of money on a Peanuts book, then Easton Press is the way to go. It’s been a few years since they offered a new item on their list of gilt-edged, leather-bound, fancy-dancy editions, but supposedly this month they will be shipping Happiness is a Warm Puppy for a mere $39. Per installment. Three installments. It is an oversized edition, 10″ by 10″, and yes, it is the classic original version rather than the expanded, reillustrated, and not as endearing revised version that came later. If you want a book that comes with a mortgage, here you go! I’m going to skip this one myself (I do have a few Easton Press editions in the AAUGH.com Reference Library, but they are from when I’ve lucked into finding them not-cheap-but-cheaper on eBay.)

Crafty Peanuts books

A couple of craft-ish new books popped up on the horizon. Coming next June is a revised and expanded edition of Peanuts Cross-Stitch; where the old one had 16 patterns, this one comes with a whopping 24. At least, I assume that’s whopping. I don’t really spend time with craft books. …
