From the title, it sounds like it would be about baseball, but Ballantine published a baseball-themed collection last April, <a href=\"http:\/\/AAUGH.com\/to.htm?0345464125\">Who&#8217;s on First, Charlie Brown<\/a>. Of course, that doesn&#8217;t rule out doing another one.

Even good ol\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Charlie Brown has finally decided that he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to make the most beautiful valentine ever for the Little Red-Haired Girl\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand give it to her! Featured on each spread is an envelope that can be opened and a real valentine to pull out: an origami fortune-teller, a tasty recipe from Pigpen, paper dolls from Marcie and Peppermint Patty, finger puppets courtesy of Snoopy and Woodstock, and more! Peanuts fans will love exploring the envelopes and chuckling at the contents as they join Charlie Brown, who stumbles through another Valentine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day trying to tell the Little Red-Haired Girl how he feels! &#8220;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our pals at BookCloseOuts have a number of discounted remaindered copies of Peanuts books available.
