Complete Peanuts, British style
As the UK readers of this blog know, the Complete Peanuts books have been restricted for sale to the US and Canada (and as they may also have noticed, it hasn’t exactly been hard to work around those restrictions). Now, however, they’ll have access to these books without even those …

Schulz and Peanuts: A Biography: a Review
It’s been a couple weeks now since I finished reading the uncorrected proofs for Schulz and Peanuts: A Biography, this October’s major new look at the life of Charles Schulz; I’ve held off on posting because I wanted to get the review right. This is a significant book. If you …

It’s not that driving me crazy is particularly difficult, mind you…
Well, I’ve cleared up at least some things about the upcoming Running Press Peanuts books… which is good, because they’ve worked to confuse me. At least some of their kids books are “interactive” – flaps, things to stick on the pages, etc. Here are their catalog descriptions, not yet part …
Online source for Schulz’s Youth hardcovers
Folks who still haven’t found a copy of the hardcover edition of Schulz’s Youth at their local comic shop can order them from mycomicshop.com, a good online comic shop which I order from sometimes myself.
