The latest issue of American Heritage is now out – well, okay, that’s a stupid thing to say – the latest issue is always out, since whatever the most recent issue out is is always the latest.

Let me start again: the Fall 2010 issue of American Heritage is now out (Volume 60, issue 3, for those who keep count that way), and it’s got an article on Peanuts. Well, to be accurate, it has 6 pages of excerpts from my new book The Peanuts Collection, including selections of text and images (no interactive items, of course). And on the cover, there’s a small picture of Snoopy in the upper right, and down in the lower left the words “Peanuts at 60”, and below that, the credit “Nat Gertler”. Yes, I’ve got my name on the cover of a significant national magazine for the first time. Oh, I used to think that I was always getting my name on the cover of TV Guide, but my wife had to point out that address labels don’t count….
