As some of you know, the color collection of Schulz’s late-1950s newspaper feature It’s Only a Game<\/em> that I published in 2013 is a bit weird — namely, the book’s spine is not on the left, as with a normal English book. No, the spine is on the top, and you have to turn pages by flipping them up from the bottom, like a calendar.<\/p>\n

Well, I’ve finally managed to publish a less-weird edition of this material… it’s the same comics, the same commentary by Schulz’s assistant on the series Jim Sasseville, but the spine is at the left, like nature intended. This is a wide paperback, 11.69″ x 8.27″, so you’ll need a couple feet of table space to open it up.<\/p>\n

This new edition is not available through Amazon. It’s only for sale in the US, and you order it directly from me — $20, with free shipping to any US address. Shipments will take about 3 weeks to arrive. Click here to order!<\/a> (Or copy and paste https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/ncp\/payment\/RFE7T54BK83WN<\/a> in your browser if you don’t see a link.)<\/p>\n
