The Peanuts Movie Movie Novelization

The cover has changed very slightly from this pre-release version, as the words "Blue Sky" are now in white rather than black, against that non-blue sky.

Yes, the word “movie” does appears twice in a row in the title of The Peanuts Movie Movie Novelization, at least if you go by the book’s spine.

This is a 138 page novelization, it comes with an insert of 8 pages of — well, no, not photos, “renderings” I suppose is the proper term — from the movie.

Is it any good? Don’t ask me, I haven’t read the thing. I don’t want the movie spoiled! But I own it, of course. Because buying books that I am not about to read, that’s a symptom of my madness.
