The newest oldest Peanuts books
Here’s one (well, two) I wasn’t expecting: in August, British publisher Titan Books will reprint Peanuts and More Peanuts, the first two Peanuts books that were published, collecting strips from the first half of the 1950s.

Peanuts and Popcorn: A Crackerjack Combination

Other Peanuts books coming up in the UK: The Peanuts Guides to Life The Peanuts Guide to Love The …
My Confession
As I’ve mentioned in the past, while I try to bring you all the interesting Peanuts book information that I can, there are times that I have information that, due to professional obligations, I am not free to share. The post from last week about the Classic Peanuts Paint-By-Number Kit is …
