This book is a colorful and informative guide for a special journey into the world of Peanuts collectibles. It is fun to read and easy to use. The book is international in scope, reflecting Peanuts' increased popularity with our Asian and European neighbors. It is a comprehensive overview of Peanuts merchandising.

Product Description

An extensive sampling of ceramic items, music boxes, Christmas-themed items, banks, dolls, and figurines make up this volume. Copyright information, facts about the Peanuts Collectors' Club, and tips on starting, inventorying, and selling a Peanuts collection areincluded. REVIEW: This book shows the diversities in products and presentation of pieces by the Fostoria Company, until it closed the factory in Moundsville in 1986. The authors have presented this complex period as simply as possible, providing original company catalog pages and detailed photographs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Helpful, March 5, 2000

By	Ellen "Melon Bell" (South Bend, IN USA) - See all my reviews

If you are looking for a single book that displays a wide variety of Peanuts Memorabilia, this is the one for you. I was surprised to see almost every item I've collected over the years presented in this book. The only downside that I found was the lack of space given for plush items, and toys. Nonetheless, you will not be disappointed.
