Celebrating Peanuts: 60 Years

Celebrating Peanuts: 60 Years is a collection of Charles Schulz's comics throughout his career, with introductions and commentary from Schulz.  I read it over a few months in bits and parts, the best way to digest a book like this. Of course, I'd read and still recalled about 95% of the comics, but they are still delightful and I'm glad to have this nicely bound collection.

I read Schulz and Peanuts last year (a biography), and seeing the history of the strip unfold in "real time" over several decades was quite enjoyable. One of my favorite blogs these days is Roasted Peanuts, a running commentary on the gocomics.com postings of classic Peanuts comics. Each of these increase my enjoyment of the comics themselves by revealing some of the inner workings of the strip.

I bought it from Amazon as a gold box deal, one of the few good ones I've seen. It was a real bargain and I'll be hanging onto it.
