Complete Peanuts Book Series to Begin in April

[trekkie1701E]

Hey guys; long time no see. Anyway, for my first post in a long while, I thought I'd put up some news for all my fellow Snoopy fanatics out there.
I subscribe to a Peanuts book news mailing list, and recieved this bit of awesome news today:

COMPLETE PEANUTS IS A GO!

This is what everyone's been asking for, begging for.

Now it's happening.

THE COMPLETE PEANUTS, a set of books reprinting every Peanuts newspaper strip.

The publisher is Fantagraphics, who has previously collected such strips as Krazy Kat and Pogo.

It's a series of 25 hardcovers, each covering two years of the strip. All in black and white. $28.95 apiece, which ain't bad for a hardcover.

First one ships in April, 2004.

The books are being designed by the cartoonist Seth, probably best known for his graphic novel It's A Good Life If You Don't Weaken, which you can see at http://AAUGH.com/to.htm?189659770X. The vast majority of strips will be reprinted from clean syndicate proofs.

You can't preorder them yet.
