“Customized” books have been around for a long time, with specialty publishers offering to insert your child’s name and sometimes some key details into a children’s book, giving them a unique item that talks about him. The publisher Sourcebooks has a line of these special-order items that add not just a name but also a photo, priced at $24.99 to $32.99. Their titles include ones starring Sesame Street fuzzball Elmo and the Berentstain Bears, and soon (I’m not sure quite when), they’ll have Peanuts titles as well.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, those are not the only Peanuts books that Sourcebooks is putting out. Coming in September are\u00a0Cheer Up, Charlie Brown!: Getting Through Life One Laugh at a Time<\/strong><\/a> and\u00a0Good Grief, It’s Your Birthday!: Growing Up Without Growing Old<\/a><\/strong>; given a press release says that the publisher will “re-package classic stories” (as well as information about format), I assume these are reprints of the books\u00a0\u00a0Don’t Give Up, Charlie Brown!<\/em> and\u00a0Good Grief, It’s Your Birthday!<\/em> that were published by Harvest House back in 2006. Both of these hardcover books are available now for preorder.<\/p>\n
