Today is the official release day for The Peanuts Collection<\/strong>. I’ve checked several chain bookstores, and they have it on the shelves. Your local store should as well.<\/p>\n

What I’ve got here is selections from every single review that I could find for\u00a0 it. What I find surprising is the uniformity of their opinion – really, they’re all strongly positive, I’m not hiding anything from you – and the diversity of sources. The book has gotten raves from everyone from the Deseret News<\/em> (a newspaper owned by the Mormon Church) to Mayfair<\/em> (a magazine that for more than four decades has ceaselessly sought to expose the shocking lack of garments among buxom British lasses).<\/p>\n

In an experimental move, I’ll actually open up this blog post for comments, so that you can put up your own reviews and comments on the book. (I won’t delete negative reviews, but I will delete abusive posts of any sort.)<\/p>\n

“As you flip through the pages, it becomes clear the amount of research and time that were put into this intricate book. From the high-quality reproductions of original sketches, comics and photographs to the removable film cells, stickers and booklets, the attention to detail is impressive. […] With quotes from the Schulz family and elements from throughout Peanuts’ 60 years, this interactive book is one that fans new and old won’t want to put down.” —Deseret News<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

“the ultimate present and truly a book for collectors” — Collectors Gazette<\/em>, August 2010<\/p>\n

Record Collector<\/em> gave it five stars.<\/p>\n

“A lovely reminder of a remarkable body of work” —Mayfair<\/em>, September 2010<\/p>\n

“This is the ultimate book for the Peanuts enthusiast. […] Nat Gertler\u2019s book is a collection of memories of our own life as we skip through a time capsule of rare time pieces emulated through the Peanuts impact on society.”\u00a0 – SandboxWorld<\/a><\/p>\n

While this will change with time, at the moment it’s had eight reader ratings at GoodReads.com<\/a> – every one a 5-out-of-5 star rating.<\/p>\n

“Writer Nat Gertler has an amazingly comprehensive knowledge of the strip and it\u2019s history so [the chapters] never fail to be entertaining, if short. Realistically, this book isn\u2019t going to win any new fans to the world of Peanuts but conversely it\u2019s probably not aimed at them. For fans of the strip already, there\u2019s plenty new here to enjoy \u2013 and for those people, I\u2019d highly recommend the book.” – RichLovatt.com<\/a><\/p>\n

“This beautiful book is the ultimate collection for Peanuts\u2019 fans.” – Under the Apple Tree<\/a><\/p>\n

A “top pick”; “It is a gold mine” – Christian Science Monitor<\/em><\/a>, October 22, 2010<\/p>\n
