That’s Bumper as in “bumper crop”, not as in “bumper car”

BumperThe latest in the stream of Peanuts books landing themselves on my doorstep flew over here form England. The Bumper Book of Peanuts is a 400 page strip collection, hardcover (no dust jacket), about 9 inches square. The strips are organized by theme, 45 chapters on things ranging from Ice Cream to Miss Othmar to AAUGH! I don’t have time to go through every of the hundreds of strips (with three to four dailies or one Sunday per page – all in black and white – there’s a lot to go through, and they don’t have the copyright tags in place to easily check the year… but it looks like largely 1960s and 1970s. There are neither the early-1950s strips nor the three-panel strips of the later years. So it’s a big thick book of prime stuff, and that’s never bad. (And hey, I like that cover!)

While this is a British book, there are copies that can be ordered from third party sellers via US Amazon.

Review: Where’s Snoopy?

The thing it understand about the new hardcover Where’s Snoopy: A Search-and-Find Book by Natalie Shaw and Scott Jeralds is that this isn’t really a puzzle book a la Where’s Waldo? or some of those books of richly detailed photographs where it really takes careful poring over to locate the missing …
