But I can tell you that as promised, I now have\u00a0<strong>Let&#8217;s Dance, Snoopy<\/strong>, and to answer the question I put up before, there&#8217;s almost nothing particularly 65th anniversaryish in it, besides a slight nod to it on the back-cover text. The strips reflect a very thin swath of Peanuts history, all Snoopy strips from 1963 through 1967&#8230; really, strip reruns from 2011 to 2014, as these are colorized version, have the www.snoopy.com URL placed between panels on every strip, have the &#8220;Classic Peanuts&#8221; header on the Sundays, and so forth. And I have to admit that while coloring the strip isn&#8217;t an utter disgrace, but I do prefer the designed-for-black-and-white ones in their original lack of color; the added visual information is a distraction rather than an addition. And the layout of this book is a little odd &#8211; three dailies or one Sunday per page 8.5&#8243;x9&#8243; page, but there is always at least two-and-a-half inches of white space at the bottom of the page, as well as an ample upper margin; four strips would&#8217;ve fit the page much better than three. But that&#8217;s all being picky. The takeaway: this is a book of mid-1960s Peanuts strips featuring Snoopy. In other words, it&#8217;s good stuff!
