We’ve got covers for some of the upcoming releases!

Christmas is Here! is a children’s storybook that’s intended to help you find the location of Christmas on a map, I reckon. (It’s somewhere near Easter Island.

Anyway, it looks like Snoopy is taking Woodstock for a walk in a wok.

Peanuts: The Poster Book (or, as Amazon’s listing is calling it, The Peanuts Poster Book) is  a poster book containing posters, in book form.

These are meant to be “suitable for framing,” so probably not too large.

Schulz is from Tidal Wave, …
