You’ve heard of Little Golden Books, now Little Debbie Books!

There are plenty of folks in the Peanuts book business, but now the Little Debbie snack cake company is s selling a Peanuts book through their website. Alas, it’s not a book that’s only available through them – it’s Only What’s Necessary, the upcoming art-of-Peanuts book. They’re offering it for $24.95, which is well under the $40 list price and yet still more than the $22 you can get it for from Amazon at the moment. Microdebbie is also selling Peanuts earbuds and a throw blanket.

Little Debbie: the place for all your shopping needs… so long as all you need in life is one of three Peanuts items or one of three products designed to look like Little Debbie Zebra Cakes.
