Coming in September is the the thing that mankind cherishes most of all (well, at least if I’m a totally random sample): a new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Oh, not totally new. This is Running Press, who have recycled the same little 128 page mini-book edition since …

Cover reveal: When Snoopy Met Woodstock
So we’ve got the cover to next summer’s storybook, When Snoopy Met Woodstock. And, unsurprisingly for a book that’s a tie in to the upcoming Apple TV+ series The Snoopy Show, it has an animated look to it. I’m curious about this one, and whether they’ll embrace the material from the …
