Product Description:
This beautiful album will dazzle fans of Charles M. Schulz and his art, providing an unprecedented look at the work of the most brilliant and beloved cartoonist of the twentieth century. Here is the whole gang–Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, Peppermint Patty, Schroeder, Pig-Pen, and all the others from the original Peanuts strips.
More than five hundred comic strips are reproduced, as well as such rare or never-before-seen items as a sketchbook from Schulz's army days in the early 1940s; his very first printed strip, Just Keep Laughing; his private scrapbook of pre-Peanuts Li'l Folks strips; developmental sketches for the first versions of Charlie Brown and the other Peanuts characters; a sketchbook from 1963; and many more materials gathered from the Schulz archives in Santa Rosa, California.
The art has been stunningly photographed by Geoff Spear in full color, capturing the subtle textures of paper, ink, and line. The strips–which were shot only from the original art or vintage newsprint–reveal how, from the 1950s through 2000, Schulz's style and the Peanuts world evolved. The book features an introduction by Jean Schulz and has been designed and edited by renowned graphic artist Chip Kidd, who also provides an informed and appreciative commentary.
This celebration of the genius of the most revered cartoonist of our time is a must for anyone who has ever come under the spell of Peanuts.

There was a similiar autographed book at a garage sale but the owner wouldn't sell it after she realized it was autographed. I was happy and surprised to see this book for sale at Amazon, and grabbed it right away. The owner should have used bubble wrap before inserting the book in the padded envelope as the corners were bent;other than that, I was happy with my purchase.

it appears that the text was scanned in and published. the cartoons cannot be seen in their full glory and much of the text is unreadable

It's a wonderful book and there's not much more I can say that others haven't said very well.I LOVE this book and the memories it brings back.
HOWEVER, I have added a photo of the house on North El Paso in Colorado Springs in which Sparky decorated his daughter's room with a mural later saved by the Travnicek family. The photo appears on my website "Lost City of Colorado Springs"(geocities). Schultz lived in this modest post WW2 tract home briefly. BUY the book.......you will treasure it!

I great book, over looking Schulz's body of work, as well as bits about his life and quotes from the man himself. Kidd's design is the perfect showcase for the art. This is a book you never really finish reading, cause you always come back to it again and again.
