Little Patriot disappearing?

Little Patriot Press, the branch of conservative publisher Regenery that had been publishing historically-linked Peanuts Great American Adventure books is showing signs that cause concern.  Amazon just emailed me to say that they couldn’t get their hands on thew new volume that was supposed to be out, I Declare, Charlie Brown. Checking the Little Patriot Press website, their front page has a “Latest News” section announcing the new Peanuts books that will be out September 19, 2014… so it doesn’t sound like there’s been a lot of news there. Checking the imprint’s page on their parent company’s website, those 2014 books really are the most recent books the Press has released. And while it’s always been a small line, they have no further books already solicited except for the three Peanuts books slated for release this summer. They’ve pushed books back on the calendar before; I would not be surprised if those books quietly disappeared (or if they didn’t; stranger things have happened.)
