A light-hearted, heavily illustrated history of the Peanuts comic strip and characters. Having been a fan of Snoopy and the Peanuts gang since my early childhood I found this book enjoyable and visually engaging. It makes me want to re-read several of the comic strip collections for many of my favourite moments and I yearn to possess several of the collectibles shown. It is a nice overview with some depth of the history of the strip, Charles Schulz, and the characters. I do wish during this period of time I could visit the museum in California. This book is definitely recommended. Its only drawbacks for me was the length clocking in at a brisk 200 pages and that no strip continuity is reprinted, only single examples. I will be keeping this book and re-reading or browsing through it in the future.
