in case you haven't heard, every single peanuts cartoon is being published in 25 books. i have to say the modern strips were really mediocre, but the early stuff is really great. the really early stuff is my favorite; they're surprisingly cynical and calvin and hobbes-esque. anyway, here are some excerpts from amazon's description about the first book (which i've already ordered, btw).
    50 years of art. 25 books. Over 7500 pages of comics. Two books per year for 12 ¼ years. Each volume in the series will run approximately 320 pages in a 8 ¾" x 7" hardcover format, presenting two years of strips along with supplementary material. The series will present the entire run in chronological order, including dailies and Sundays, in a three-tier page format that will accommodate three dailies or one Sunday strip per page. The Sundays will be printed in black-and-white.
