Three books down, 22 to go.

The best part of reading the Complete Peanuts is watching the milestones evolve. This volume see Linus speak for the first time, Snoopy’s first happy dance and good ‘ol Charlie Brown gets his first football pulled out from under him by Lucy.
These books, which collects many strips never before reprinted, continues to highlight the wit and skill Schultz brought to his work and remains a must for any avid comic fan.
