Peanuts Treasury

Of the 11 "Peanuts" collections that I've read, this one is by far the best. Over 600 cartoons are included, ranging in size from the standard 4-panel daily strips to the full page Sunday ones. The collection was printed in 1968, and the cartoons originally appeared in newspapers between 1959 and 1967. Thus, they capture Charles Schulz' work when he was at his height as a cartoonist. We get all the prominent themes: Linus with his blanket, Lucy the crabby sister, Charlie and his losing baseball team, Schroeder and his piano, Linus and the Great Pumpkin, Lucy and the football, the kite-eating tree, Peppermint Patty, the little red-haired girl that Charlie can never get up nerve to talk to, and of course Snoopy. A few reviewers at Amazon show more complain about quality of the printing. My copy has no such problem; the print is every bit as clear as one might like. Any reader who wants to see Peanuts and Charles Schultz at their best will want this book. show less

I never really liked Peanuts when I was a kid, but my appreciation of Schulz's greatness steadily grows with age.

Brought this when I was playing Linus in You're a Good Man Charlie Brown. Love it so much!! Many of the strips in the musical are also in this book.

These collections and Calvin & Hobbes collections were the only comics that my parents both approved and allowed us to have growing up, so I have fond memories of these books.

Charlie Brown and Snoopy, both the existentialists of my childhood and Snoopy my hero too.....
