After wanting a copy for a while, I’ve just added Monsieur Schulz et ses Peanuts, a commentary book about Peanuts by Marion Vidal. What makes this discussion of the strip interesting is that rather than being illustrated with examples of the strip itself, it’s filled with parodies and tribute drawings …

Okay, so last week I noted that the 128-page book Peanuts Guide to Life looked like it was being split into two 64-page books for the UK market. Then what the heck is Guide to Life Book 3?

Grrrrrr… I just wrote a write-up of the new book The Dirt on Pigpen, only to have my computer eat it. I’m not going to try to recreate it word-for-word. So let me sum up: Pigpen is more a concept than a character, and the strips are more about how …

Remember that boxed set of the new printings of Happiness is a Warm Puppy and seven other gift books that I mentioned recently? Remember how the question was whether it was $49.95 or $39.95? The good news is that it’s $39.95. The better news that you can preorder it now …

Here’s a book that came out last year but I didn’t notice, because it’s not available through the usual sources: Peanuts Collectible Ornaments. It is (apparently, as I don’t actually have a copy yet) a picture-laden guide to all those odd objects that suddenly seem to clog the trees when …

Running Press is unleashing two more Peanuts books in their line of animated adaptations… well, actually, it looks like it’s more like one new book, and one existing book in a new package. Coming in October is A Charlie Brown Christmas: A Book and Tree Kit. They’ve released their edition …
