Peanut cookbook a-comin’!
As I just posted on the Upcoming Peanuts Books list, August will bring us The Peanuts Lunchtime Cookbook, a paperback from Ballantine Books. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is just a new edition of the old Peanuts Lunch Bag Cook Book, but I could be wrong. My baby …
Happiness Is… an old cover design
It looks as though the upcoming Cider Mill Press rereleases of the old Determined Productions saying-and-picture books will sport the original cover designs as well. While some of these covers speak to the era when they were designed, that’s not a bad thing; the odds are good that a lot …
Camp Peanuts cover and last minute gifts
We have a first look at the cover of It’s Off to Camp, Charlie Brown. It won’t actually be available until May, but hey, that’s what makes it a first look. It is nice to see a cover that isn’t just a blue sky fading down to green grass for …
Peanuts books of the future and the present(s)
It looks like next summer will be bringing some more British Peanuts gift books from Ravette. They’ve got Best Friends… Understand Sharing and True Love Is… Complete Trust, both shipping in June. But if next summer is too long for you to wait for your gifts, you’d best get a …

Bleah!
You can see here my new favorite Peanuts book title, the German book BLEAH! We don’t have a copy in the AAUGH.com reference library yet, alas. What we have added to the AAUGH.com reference library is the 1958 edition of Txweco, the yearbook of Texas Wesleyan College. Now, many student …
Schulz bio pushed back, DVDs pushed forward
Tonight is this year’s U.S. airing of A Charlie Brown Christmas on ABC. That makes it a good day to watch TV, of course, but it also makes it a good day for me to talk about some upcoming releases: two more animated Peanuts DVDs. Now, the movies are finally …
Jim Sasseville, 1927-2005
The Comics Reporter is reporting the passing of Jim Sasseville last week. Jim was a friend and collaborator of Schulz’s who accompanied him on his move to California. His work can be seen on the earlier Peanuts comic book stories, and he provided the finished art for most of the …
New editions of old Peanuts books, and more
hope that everyone out there has a happy day, whether you’re celebrating Thanksgiving or not. Just added to the Upcoming Peanuts book list is new US editions of Happiness is a Warm Puppy, Happiness is a Sad Song, Home is on Top of a Doghouse, and Security is a Thumb …
Nat Completes a Set
I’m doing a little happy dance over here, because I finally own every Peanuts book ever published… in Welsh. Of course, the fact that there are only 2 made it easier, but these books aren’t easy to find. I’ve had Ffyrnigrwydd Snwpi for a while now, but only just got …
