The Complete Peanuts goes soft, batter is hard

Upcoming releases

CompletePeanutsPaperback

For those of you who have wanted The Complete Peanuts set, but maybe wanted it cheaper, perhaps easier to carry… it’s coming in paperback! The first volume ships next June, and can be preordered now.

But that doesn’t mean that the hardcover set is done. April will bring volume 21 of the hardcover run, covering 1991 and 1992. No mention yet of who is writing the introduction.

And for those who like their Peanuts books small and focused rather than big and complete, April also brings Batter Up, Charlie Brown, a square collection of three baseball stories.

Make room on your shelves!
