Beautifully designed . . . One of the high-water marks of post-war popular culture
* Daily Telegraph *
The world of <i>Peanuts </i>is a microcosm, a little human comedy for the innocent reader and for the sophisticated
* Umberto Eco *
A delicious wallow in a nostalgic world that has a lot more bite than readers may recall. Schulz portrays a children's world that's anything but idyllic, complete with fusspots, tortured artists, exclusive clubs, insecurities and kites that refuse to fly. The Peanuts landscape is the familiar neighbourhood, with trees, sidewalks, sandboxes, ball fields and remarkably generic interiors. As always, the illustrations are a marvel of simplicity and the insights are haunting
* Publishers Weekly *
Highly recommended to any <i>Peanuts</i> fan
* Salon *
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 *
All sorts of important writers have marveled 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
* Spectator *
<i>The Complete Peanuts</i> is beautifully bound, a comprehensive resource and, with an index and introduction, a useful contextualisation of a modern legend.
* The Skinny *
<i>The Complete Peanuts</i> has framed Charles Schulz's enduring masterpiece about as well any lifelong fan could've hoped.
* "The Best Comics of the '00s: The Archives", The A.V. Club *
