What’s up with the Artist’s Edition
I’m starting to get emails asking about where that big Peanuts Artist’s Edition that Amazon said would ship at the end of April is. It’s not out yet. It’s not just Amazon who doesn’t have it yet. Nobody does. The book is late…. but not unexpectedly so. Publishers who focus …
