Books that are going away

Publishing deals don’t last forever, and the deal which gave me the publishing rights to Schulz’s Church Of God cartoons is about to come to the end. I’m no longer wholesaling paperbacks or hardcover copies of Schulz’s Youth, the collection that included the full set of cartoons (although if you need them, the Schulz Museum giftshop has a supply on hand.) Around the end of the month, I’ll be taking of the market the Kindle and Nook editions of Schulz’s Youth.

I’ll also be eliminating the three print-on-demand titles I created featuring subsections of these cartoons:

  • God’s Children – a collection of  cartoons about little kids and the church
  • The Zipper on My Bible is Stuck – a color collection of cartoons about teens and the Bible
  • Spares! – a thin collection of cartoons about bowling, made of a mixture of this material and panels from “It’s Only a Game”.

Now these books are pretty rare… I don’t think that there exists 100 copies of the three of them put together. So if you want any of these, I would recommend ordering them now; you’re not likely to be able to find them on the used book market in the future.

The promotion of “Snoopy for President” dates back to at least 1961 (possibly earlier, I don’t have great reference on it.) The idea is not limited to US presidential election years, but it does tend to swell then. There was not only merch but newspaper articles on it in 1968. …

Coming to America

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 …
