Just out in Japan is the Japanese edition of Charles M. Schulz: The Art and Life of the Peanuts Creator in 100 Objects, the Eisner Award-winning, Schulz Museum-published heavily illustrated book co-written by curator Benjamin L. Clark and myself! And yes, it can be shipped to the States… although it looks like shipping costs will cost you more than the book itself! (This would be a good time for collectors to order other Japanese books as well, to combine shipping.)

This edition came together pretty quickly — the deal to publish it was only made during this past summer’s San Diego Comic-Con.

Now, I’ve written a lot of books, and a fair number of them have been translated into various languages… but this is my first time in Japanese that I can recall. Perhaps next time I visit Japan, I will be swarmed upon as a celebrity! (No.)

Signedly yours,
