Not the celebrating!
Within hours after my last post, the “The” has been knocked off the title listed on Amazon for the 60th anniversary book, making it the more reasonable Celebrating Peanuts.
Peanuts 60th anniversary book
Want a big Peanuts book? How does 544 pages sound? Thats the solicited length for The Celebrating Peanuts: 60 Years (if that’s really the title – sounds kind of awkward). Coming in October (’round about when Peanuts hits 59 years) this big book also bears a big list price. At …
My goodness, they keep publishing Peanuts books!

Security Blankets – the book!
