PEANUTS - THE ART OF CHARLES M. SCHULZ
I was just looking through my copy of the book, PEANUTS - THE ART OF CHARLES M. SCHULZ. Beautifully designed and edited by CHIP KIDD and published by Pantheon in 2001, the book is sensational! If you don't already own this book by now, order it today or go pick it up at your local bookstore! This is certainly a MUST-HAVE book for any PEANUTS fan.
