A good primer on graphic design for kids (but really anybody) who would like to have a little basic know-how for making something look good. These days, we all have to be a graphic designer at some point, so we may as well carry a few ideas with us about typography, color, negative and positive space, and so forth.

What a perfectly lovely book to page through on a cold, sunny afternoon! This oversized collection is a must-see/ must-read for Peanuts fans. It's just gorgeous.
Chipp Kidd and co. used photographs taken of Schultz's work at the Charles M. Schultz museum in Santa Rosa, California to assemble a visual timeline of his artistic career. The strips they chose and the accompanying photos and text all came together to create a moving portrait of a man doing what he loved and leaving an unforgettable mark on the world. There's a quote at the end of the book from Schultz:
Well, I've certainly gotten a lot of joy from Peanuts, and I learned several new things about Charles M. Schultz from this book.
I advise getting your hands on a copy, finding something to prop it on, and losing yourself in it until you're finished.… (lisätietoja)

I let a couple of English majors take a crack at it recently, and they brought up some good points about its flaws. Still a classic, and still worthy of reading if only for the gloriousness that is Winter Sorbeck.
