There are many products generated as Peanuts “collectibles”. There have even been some special editions of books that would qualify, such as those leatherbound Easton Press editions. Still, I think the upcoming board book edition of It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown<\/strong><\/a> is pushing the line a bit. The publisher (Little Simon) is promoting the fact that the first printing, and only the first printing, will have “gilded edges”.<\/p>\n

\"\"Other than that, this is one of those “Super Chubby” books with the padded covers, making them easier on the hands of little kids who just want to stick a gilded-edged book into their mouth.<\/p>\n

The adaptation, or at least the art is not new… it’s the Vicki Scott art that we first saw back in 2016… in a version about which I pointed out that the letters on the cover were metallic<\/a> even though the picture on Amazon did not show that aspect. So it seems that the gild is a thing on this book historically.<\/p>\n

In fact, let’s take a look at that old cover…\"\"<\/p>\n

Notice how the Charlie Brown figure has been flipped to a mirror image in the new version. That’s actually something that licensors are specifically told not to do when working with Schulz art. But I suppose it’s less a concern when you’re not messing with The Master whose specific drawing quirks define Peanuts, and are just dealing with someone who does quite a nice job drawing based on his work.<\/p>\n

This new edition is available for pre-order, and if you want to make it likely that you get those gilded edges, I suppose it’s best that your order now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As long as I’m posting this, I guess I should point out the availability of this book walk-through of that new Snoopy game. This is an unauthorized book (so putting Snoopy on the cover may not have been a good idea) from an author that puts out a walk-through book about every two days.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The German edition has a similar but different cover.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Notice how Snoopy appears to be leaning on, well, his middle leg. Oh artificial intelligence, is there nothing that you can’t do poorly??<\/p>\n
