Schulz and Peanuts: A Biography: a Review
It’s been a couple weeks now since I finished reading the uncorrected proofs for Schulz and Peanuts: A Biography, this October’s major new look at the life of Charles Schulz; I’ve held off on posting because I wanted to get the review right. This is a significant book. If you …
Shipping early: Peanuts boxed set
That big set of the Peanuts gift books, packed in the nifty doghouse-shaped box and scheduled to come out next month, is already shipping. Nine hardcovers in a nifty box for under $27 (with free US shipping)? C’mon, if you don’t need this, you know someone who does!
Charlie Brown’s lost cues
I just noticed this new-this-year disk of the “lost” music bits that had been left off of earlier collections of Vince Guaraldi’s Peanuts music. And for those who want the hardcover edition of Schulz’s Youth but are most comfortable ordering through Amazon, it is now available courtesy of a third-party …
Not A Charlie Brown Christmas, just Charlie Brown’s Christmas
Another upcoming book… at least, I think it’s a book. Charlie Brown’s Christmas is one of a batch of Christmas-themed “Snow Blocks” items that will be published this fall by Barnes & Noble (and probably only available through them.) I’m not quite sure what these are. The others are Rudolph, …
found at the Comic-Con
This time last week was about halfway through the famed San Diego Comic-Con. Time was when this was quite a good place to find comic book magazines with Peanuts, but as the focus of the event has switched to the new (in comics, TV, and movies) and away from the …

It’s not that driving me crazy is particularly difficult, mind you…
Well, I’ve cleared up at least some things about the upcoming Running Press Peanuts books… which is good, because they’ve worked to confuse me. At least some of their kids books are “interactive” – flaps, things to stick on the pages, etc. Here are their catalog descriptions, not yet part …
Online source for Schulz’s Youth hardcovers
Folks who still haven’t found a copy of the hardcover edition of Schulz’s Youth at their local comic shop can order them from mycomicshop.com, a good online comic shop which I order from sometimes myself.
Peanuts PAL DVDs
Over in England, they’re getting Peanuts DVD releases that have shows not yet released on DVD in the US. The good news is that (if the listings are to be believed), these disks are encoded for “all regions”. But that just means that your DVD player won’t reject it for …
On the tenth month of Christmas my true love got for me…
Running Press is coming out with some board books for the kids, adapting the classic Peanuts animated TV specials into a tidy ten pages apiece. Or at least, we’re pretty sure they’re board books. While the listing for the August-shipping It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown describes it as a …
