I’m a few books behind on reviews, so I’m going to try to kick them out simple and quick. The Big Book of Peanuts: All the Daily Strips from the 1990s is exactly the same in format as the four prior volumes of this series, despite it being distributed differently. …
If you’ve been wondering “where can I find unlikely use of Peanuts imagery?”, the wonder no more! For I am here to tell you that it’s on the cover of Henry & Glenn Comics and Stories. “What is Henry & Glenn Comics and Stories?”, I hear you cry. Why, it’s …
While the days of new books popping up at Costco at any time are soon coming to an end, they have not ended yet. The latest is Peanuts: Coloring for Fun and Relaxation, which as you may get is a coloring book — and “adult coloring book”, as such things go. …

Mooks – that is, items with magazine-like content but sold more like a book – are popular in Japan. Many of them come bundled with extra items, and there have been a fair number with Peanuts items. Most often these are bags – a handbag or a tote of some …
I’m interrupting my coverage of the shipment of books I got from Japan to cover another foreign book that just arrived. Now, I don’t try to collect every foreign Peanuts book. My collection is out of control as it is. I try to find books in languages that I don’t …
