The World Publishing Company published the first Peanuts specials adaptations including “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” However, many editions say “First Printing” which is very confusing when they aren’t really first edition. We’ll deep dive into these versions and clear up some misconceptions.
If you’re looking to collect the very first “A Charlie Brown Christmas”, look for the dust jacket version. This book was first available in 1965 and released at the same time as the animated special. For more information about every adaptation of “A Charlie Brown Christmas”, visit AAUGH.com.
