More on the Sunday Peanuts collections
The title of the series is Peanuts Every Sunday. This will, of course, justify the existence of the AAUGH.com Collectors Guide, as there already is a book of that title, a black-and-white collection of Sunday strips from 1958 through 1961. The books are 12.75″ by 10″, so the strips should …
