The Peanuts Book: A Visual History of the Iconic Comic Strip by Simon Beecroft

4.0

For a coffee-table book that calls itself a “visual history” there is a lot of information here. I’m not an expert on Peanuts - and it’s been many years since I’ve considered myself a fan - but this relatively slim tome contains a wealth of information about the much-loved comic strip. From details of production (the four-panel format was designed to be laid out horizontally, vertically or in a square) to the more notable pieces of merchandise this covers most elements of the history behind Charlie Brown and his friends.
