Reviews for The Complete Peanuts 1977-1978
Charles Schulz was an American treasure - an artist, philosopher, and keen observer of human life
Bill Clinton Republishing Peanuts in one gorgeous volume after another is really the first time we can truly take a step back, appreciate Schulz's work as a whole and ultimately wrap our arms around the accomplishment of Charles Schulz. Sometimes, happiness is a warm book
Huffington Post
It's impossible to think of another popular art form that reaches across generations the way the daily comic strip does... at the pinnacle of that long tradition, there was Charles Schulz
The Seattle Times
These timely re-issues illustrate not only the skill and subtle brilliance of his work but also the origins of the form beyond simple merriment
Sunday Times
The world of Peanuts is a microcosm, a little human comedy for the innocent reader and for the sophisticated
Umberto Eco All sorts of important writers have marvelled at the glorious simplicity of [Schulz's] draftsmanship and his unerring jokecraft, all underpinned by a quiet melancholy and stoicism . . . by some miracle, the entire Peanuts oeuvre is gradually being republished in this country, by Canongate . . . in lavishly appointed hardback . . . Unlike almost everything you read as a child, they are actually better than you remember them
