Good Grief, More Peanuts! (First Edition, Likely Second Printing.)
New York / Toronto: Rinehart & Company, Inc., 1956. First Edition, Likely Second Pri. Paperback. This, the third book ever printed about the Peanuts characters, is likely the second printing of the first edition as no Rinehart colophon is present on the copyright page, but also no other printings are listed.
Per peanuts first editions dot com, "From 1956 on, the number of copies of the Peanuts books sold began to increase parabolically. Announcements for the third book, 'Good Grief, More Peanuts', indicate a first printing of 25,000 copies and a Publisher's Weekly article in March 1957 noted that the 3 books combined were selling 1,500 copies a day. 'Good Grief, More Peanuts' was the first of the books printed in the oblong landscape format. It was the last of the books printed with such a low first print run and is also quite scarce in the first printing. This first printing is also notable in that it is very slightly larger in size compared to the later printings."
Paper covers illustrated with the Peanuts comic strip characters. Wear and chips to edges and spine. Sound binding. Missing flytitle page. Notations within front cover. Leaves evenly toned. VG-. Full refund if not satisfied. Very Good -.
