PhotoPropsThis set of things-to-hold-up-to-yourself-while-getting-your-picture-taken, Peanuts Photo Props, is listed as a hardcover book.

I’m hoping the pictures on the left side of the image are just preliminary images taken from another product, because they’re not particularly Peanuts-y. And what I assume is the spine says Christmas Photo Props, so perhaps that’s some other product (although one not yet in the system), or perhaps this is supposed to be Peanuts Christmas photo props. Ah, preliminary cover images, we really can’t trust you. Shipping in June.
