This facsimile edition of PEANUTS, the very first Peanuts collection, is faithful to the original 1950s trade size paperback and is a great way to introduce new and younger readers to these classic strips by Charles Schulz.  Originally published in 1952, this book contains the very earliest strips; readers can see Schulz's sensibility first take shape, and will not fail to note that the orignal cast of characters is quite different from what later it later became.  This 128 page book collects 248 strips, two per page, in the square format.  Classic!
