Your favorite comic strips in a new format! Hallmark created Peanuts flip books starring the Peanuts gang in 1970. Each page is a single panel of a comic strip. Each book is themed for either a Peanuts character or a popular topic. Featured characters include Lucy, Linus, Charlie Brown and Snoopy. I’d love to know if there are more titles of these books out there, so let me know by commenting on the video. Thanks!
Hallmark created many different types of gift books over the years, including a small series of Peanuts books that are a little different from the typical Peanuts publications collectors usually find. These books were designed almost like greeting cards in book form, giving people a way to share a special message with someone while featuring their favorite Peanuts characters.
Released in 1970, these Hallmark books came with different themes and featured characters including Linus, Charlie Brown, and Lucy. Titles include Live and Learn with Linus, Charlie Brown’s World, Lucy’s Philosophy, The Wisdom of Linus, It’s Only a Game, and A Woman’s World. Each book has its own colored cover, while the inside pages feature a consistent blue and green design. The front includes a space for a personal message or the name of the person receiving the gift, making these books a unique combination of a greeting card and a collectible.
These Hallmark Peanuts books are not seen as often as many other Peanuts collectibles, and it appears they were only produced around 1970. The copyright date inside the books refers to the year they were released, not just a character copyright date. While the complete number of titles produced is still unknown, finding these little gift books can be a fun challenge for collectors. Their unusual format and personalized design make them an interesting piece of Peanuts and Hallmark history.
