Coming to America

Uncategorized

Remember a few months back when I got that manga biography of Schulz and it made me really happy, even thought I couldn’t read it? Well, that may be in for a change, because coming in October is Manga Biographies: Charles M. Schulz, The Creator of Snoopy and Peanuts. I assume it’s the same one.

And in checking that out, I noticed something about the original book I hadn’t noticed before. In the back it had what look to be a list of references they used in making the book… and it included a book I wrote, The Peanuts Collection. Now, I know that my books won’t always be the first ones that folks will go to; that one has been out of print for a while, and a fair number of books on the topic have come out since. But it does feel good to know that maybe the work I’ve done will continue helping build the works to come for a while.
