One of the odd things about being a Peanuts book collector is when looking for books in Japanese, when you’ll discover that “book” gets rather broadly defined. If it can be packed into a rectangle, it may get distributed as a book. Generally, it’s items that can be well-flattened — bags and cases of various sorts are the most common.
And other objects that can be made kind of flat make sense, like this little stool.
But… a fountain pen and ink set?
A pepper mill??
I feel like I’m watching a Is It Cake? spin-off called Is It Book?, and the answer is always “yes!”
