Snoopy Treasures redesigned again!
Amazon now has the third cover it’s displayed for my book The Snoopy Treasures, being released in November: It’s only a slight reworking from the second cover: Which was itself more of a variation from the first:
Only the necessary cover
This is the released cover for this fall’s Only What’s Necessary: Charles M. Schulz and the Art of Peanuts, by the esteemed Chip Kidd. Nice, eh?
Birds that Snoopy has imitated
Birds that Snoopy has imitated include: VULTURE PENGUIN FALCON

Peanuts cover bands unite
The previously-mentioned Peanuts Off-Model book is now being listed as Peanuts: A Tribute to Charles M. Schulz.
