Last year, I found The Big Book of Peanuts Comics, a single volume which collected all of the Peanuts daily strips (i.e., no Sundays) from the 1970s, for sale for about $20 at Costco. A number of you wanted to lay your hands on a copy, but the only place I …
While the humor of it is not quite to my taste, I’m still amazed that I’ve never before run into this website devoted to parody Peanuts book covers.
What do you get for the Peanuts fan who has everything? Bigger bookshelves. I was sitting here, thinking how hectic I am for the next few days, who I’ve not time for anything, when the Peanuts Book Fairy drove his big brown box truck up and dropped off two books. …
I’ve been going through the filmstrips that I received this weekend, checking some of the details (turns out I’m missing one filmstrip that I have a teacher’s guide for, and have doubles of another strip), and digging into one of them. Well, I cheated on that a bit; I haven’t dug …
I mentioned yesterday that I’d received a box, and that I anticipated what was inside making me a very happy Peanuts collector boy. And boy, it did! In the past, I’ve discussed Charlie Brown’s Career Education Program, a series of film strips from 1979. I even showed you some scans …

I received no Peanuts books in the mail yesterday. Zero, nada, none. But I should start catching up on the books I received on the previous three days. The box of three books yesterday were all three initial books in the new Little Patriot Press line of Peanuts storybooks. These are …
While looking into Kanrom, the company that published the books I reprinted in Happiness is a Rat Fink and Unhappiness is a Dirty Dog, I discovered that wasn’t the last time that company took on Schulz’s work. In 1971, they put out a booklet (which was much of what they published, …
