My Thougths:
This book is Awesome!! It is a great keepsake for any who loves Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the Gang. This is a great collectible especially for comics and cartoon lovers young and old. This book just amazes me. I LOVE it!! In it you will see Charlie Brown's world from the beginning, since the debut comic strip in October 1950--when he wasn't yet the lovable loser that he became. This book has all the Peanuts favorites including Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and all the gang. I love that it includes frameable prints. This Book would make a Great gift!!!
