I would think the late 60's were probably the peak years for "Peanuts", although this book doesn't contain real brilliance. There's a fair selection of comics in here, a few that are laugh-out-loud funny, a few stinkers, a few in the inimitable Schulz style that don't make a whole lot of sense, and a couple of social commentary sections: Lucy holds a "crab-in" with all her crabby friends, and Snoopy is invited to play in the Masters, perhaps a foreshadowing of the endless golf jokes we get in strips like The Wizard of Id and B.C. A cheap edition, not really much to hand on to, I wouldn't think, even for the serious collector. ( )
