Summary: Charles Schulz At His Best!
Review: I absolutely adored this book and so would any true fan of Charles Schulz! I enjoyed the text that went along with his cartoons in explaining how he got his ideas and how the Peanuts gang came to be. I feel that the cartoons chosen for this book are wonderful and this book remains a very special part of my collection!

Summary: A nice, worthwhile collection
Review: This is a pretty good collection, although I think I would have enjoyed it more if Schulz has structured it like Scott Adams' recent "Seven Years of Highly Defective People" and Bill Watterson's "Tenth Anniversary Calvin & Hobbes" book, with notes about the comics underneath them, in the collection itself. But it's still good, with a (for some reason) out of order year of "Peanuts" strips and a very interesting, long essay about the strip by Schulz. The first part of the book is like a companion/follow-up to "Charlie Brown, Snoopy and Me."

Rating:
Summary: Boring
Review: This is no anniverssary book. I expected an historical trip and found only contemporary strips. Too much money for a year of some of the less interesting works of Schultz.

Summary: Buy this book!
Review: This wonderful book was created to celebrate the 45th anniversary of Charles Schulz's creation of the Peanuts. The book starts out with several salutes to Charles Schulz, and then moves on to Schulz's reminisces of his life with the Peanuts. And then, the pièce de résistance, 153 pages of Peanuts cartoons! All of the normal gang is here, and we even get to meet Snoopy's brothers: Andy, Spike and Olaf.

This is a very nice book. My daughter found it, and bought it with her own money, and she is very happy with her purchase. We both highly recommend it to everyone. Buy this book!
